GEMS
Ammolite is a precious gemstone highly coveted for its spectacular iridescence.
Ammolites are derived from the fossilised shell of a cephalopod, Ammonites. As Ammonites went extinct with dinosaurs, they were buried deep under the sea, for millions of years. Under intense pressure and extreme heat, only few Ammonites successfully mineralise to form Ammolites — and the captivating colours we see today. Each Ammonite was formed approximately 66 million years ago.
Each Ammolite is nature’s masterpiece. No two pieces are the same. Ammolite and its wide spectrum of colour display are only formed after being buried by multiple layers over millions of years. Only as few as 5% of Ammolites are preserved well enough to be crafted into gemstones. Beyond their brilliant colours, Ammolites are believed to possess high vibration energies and restorative properties. Ammolites are also openly associated with perfection, knowledge and wisdom, and are said to grant their owner success, wealth, and fortuitous relationships.
Ammolites are extremely hard to come by. Not only will they have to undergo fossilisation for millions of years, but Ammolites with mesmerising iridescence are also only found in one location – in the mountain regions of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan of Canada. After successfully mining Ammolites, each piece will be refined and cleaned before being masterfully crafted by Kaimirra Tutan into bespoke jewellery and luxury showstoppers. Only approximately 5% of Ammonites are preserved well enough to be crafted into jewellery.
Jewellery
Like all your precious gemstones, Ammolite should be treated with care and attention. Dust, pollution and daily wear may cloud the brilliance of your Ammolite.
You can gently wipe the surface of your gemstone or jewellery with a cloth or a soft brush, but avoid immersing them in water for prolonged periods, as this will cause a loss of shine and iridescence. We do not recommend using ultrasonic, steam or oil cleaners.
For more specific instructions for care, please refer to the care card that is included during your purchase. We also suggest that your jewellery receive periodic professional maintenance.
