7/8" Oceanic White Tip Shark Tooth Pendant - 18K Gold Electroformed

This pendant features a rare 7/8-inch oceanic white tip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) tooth, electroformed with genuine 18k gold for an extraordinary presentation. White tip teeth of this quality have become increasingly difficult to source, making this piece particularly valuable for discerning collectors and ocean enthusiasts.

The tooth has been professionally electroformed — a sophisticated process that deposits a layer of 18k gold directly onto the natural surface, creating a luxurious finish while preserving the tooth's shape. The electroforming process creates an organic, artisanal finish that may include subtle variations in gold thickness, minor surface textures, and small irregularities where the gold bonds to the tooth's complex surface. These characteristics are inherent to the technique and distinguish it from mass-produced plated items.

Oceanic white tip shark teeth are prized for their distinctive broad, triangular shape and pronounced serrations — features that reflect this apex predator's position as one of the ocean's most formidable hunters. This specimen, with its gleaming gold surface and exceptional preservation, represents both a wearable work of art and a remarkable example of natural engineering.

Please Note:

Each white tip shark tooth is a genuine, one-of-a-kind specimen. Natural variations in shape, serration pattern, and surface detail are expected and authenticate its origin. The electroforming process creates unique surface characteristics including subtle textural variations and minor irregularities in the gold deposit — these are hallmarks of authentic electroforming and add to each piece's individual character. No two pieces will be identical.

Jewelry Care

To maintain the beauty of your jewelry:

• Remove before bathing or swimming.
• Store at room-temperature in a low-humidity environment.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wearing to restore its shine.
• Avoid using chemicals, cleaners, or abrasives, as these can damage the protective coating.

Please note that while we use a substantial layer of gold and a protective finish to enhance the longevity of each piece, we cannot guarantee the plating's lifespan due to variation in individual wear.
