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.

Design Approaches

Contemporary Elegance
Clean, sophisticated settings that let the tooth's natural drama take center stage. Perfect for those who appreciate subtle luxury with extraordinary stories.

Statement Pieces
Bold designs that celebrate the raw power and prehistoric grandeur of these ancient predators. Ideal for collectors who want their jewelry to command attention.

Custom Creations
Bespoke pieces designed around exceptional specimens or personal vision. We work closely with clients to create truly one-of-a-kind heirlooms.

Honest Craftsmanship
