Wire wrapped jewelry items are wrapped using various gages of gold filled or sterling silver wire. They are wrapped so there is no front or back to the piece. In most cases, especially with ammonites, the only difference is the inside of the fossil and the outside. They are wrapped with a minimalist approach so that the piece is showcased not the wire wrap. As with an oil painting the frame should not overshadow the painting or the piece overshadow the frame. They should compliment each other. That is what we try to do with our wire wrap designs.

Necklace and bola tie are made using opposite halves of a 2-1/4 inch Cleoniceras besairei ammonite.
The necklace is 20 inches long; the bola tie uses a standard length cord tipped with gold filled bola cord tips.
The earings are made with matching 1-1/8 inch Desmoceras (Pseudouhligella) media ammonite halves.
Beads used are natural Baltic Amber and red carnelian agate beads with gold filled accent beads finished off with a gold filled toggle clasp for the necklace and bracelet and gold filled french wires for the earings.
The ammonites are from the Upper Early Cretaceous, Albion Stage (approximately 106 million years old) and are from Mahajanga Province of Madagascar.
The amber beads are from the Baltic Sea and are approximately 50 million years old.
This set makes a great anniversary gift, because the necklace is made with one half of the ammonite the bola tie with the other. It is the same concept as a marriage, each is one half of the whole.
