2⅞" Megalodon Shark Tooth Pendant | 14k Gold Octopus, Ruby Eyes

This extraordinary pendant features a museum-quality 2⅞-inch Megalodon tooth, transformed into a singular work of art through the addition of a meticulously crafted 14k gold octopus with genuine ruby eyes. The octopus's tentacles wrap gracefully around the ancient tooth, creating both an elegant presentation and secure mounting that celebrates the intersection of prehistoric natural history and fine jewelry craftsmanship.

The Megalodon tooth itself represents one of nature's most formidable predators—Otodus megalodon—which ruled the world's oceans for over 15 million years. This substantial specimen showcases the classic triangular profile and serrated edges that made these ancient giants the apex predators of their time, capable of reaching lengths up to 60 feet.

The 14k gold octopus represents exceptional artisanal skill, with each tentacle individually shaped and positioned to embrace the tooth's natural contours. We've intentionally allowed the gold to develop a subtle patina, then selectively polished it to create depth and character that harmonizes beautifully with the tooth's raw, ancient surface. The creature's ruby eyes add a striking contrast, while the overall design pays homage to maritime mythology where octopi symbolize intelligence, mystery, and the untamed power of the deep ocean.

This piece represents a convergence rarely seen in collecting: a genuine Megalodon tooth of substantial size paired with museum-level metalwork. The octopus design transforms the ancient predator's tooth into a statement piece that honors both paleontological significance and mythological tradition, creating something entirely unique in the intersection of natural history and luxury jewelry.

Please Note:

Each Megalodon tooth is a genuine prehistoric specimen millions of years old. Natural variations in coloration, surface texture, and precise dimensions reflect its authentic ancient origin and the millions of years of geological processes that preserved it.
