Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry
Where Ancient Treasures Meet Premium Materials
Our Jewelry Philosophy
At Prehistoria, we create unique artisan jewelry that transforms exceptional shark teeth into wearable art. Our pieces combine carefully selected specimens with premium materials—sterling silver, gold, semi-precious stones, and quality gemstones—using handcrafted techniques that honor both the natural beauty of fossils and skilled jewelry-making traditions.
Each piece represents a collaboration between nature's perfect design and human artistry. Working with specimens that are millions of years old presents unique challenges that require custom solutions and artisan techniques not found in conventional jewelry making.
Materials & Construction
Premium Metals & Stones
We work exclusively with sterling silver, 14k and 18k gold, and carefully selected gemstones. Our metal caps and settings are crafted by skilled jewelers to showcase each specimen's natural beauty.
Custom Fitting Process
Due to the unique nature of each tooth, specimens are carefully shaped and fitted to work with jewelry settings. This process requires specialized techniques to preserve the tooth's character while ensuring secure, lasting attachment.
Handcrafted Assembly
Each piece is individually assembled using techniques developed specifically for working with prehistoric specimens. While our methods ensure durability and beauty, pieces may show subtle variations that reflect their handmade nature.
Quality Control
Every piece is carefully inspected before shipping, though minor variations in finishing are expected with handcrafted jewelry featuring natural specimens.
