Are you on the hunt for a truly unique piece of jewelry that holds a story as old as time itself? Let's travel back to the era of the dinosaurs and uncover the extraordinary world of dinosaur fossil rings. These rings are crafted from genuine dinosaur bones, transforming ancient history into a wearable piece of art.
Unearthing the Wonder of Dinosaur Fossil Rings
Dinosaur fossil rings are more than just accessories; they are a testament to our planet's fascinating past. These rings are made from genuine dinosaur fossils, also known as "gembones", that have been preserved and transformed over millions of years into beautiful minerals. The result is a unique and stunning piece of jewelry that is as timeless as the creatures it came from.
Dinosaur Bones Transformed into Gembones
The process of turning dinosaur bones into gembones is a natural phenomenon that takes millions of years. When a dinosaur died, its bones would often get buried in sediment-rich areas like riverbeds or ocean floors. Over time, the bones were fossilized as sediment slowly replaced the cellular structure of the bone, creating the unique patterns and colors we see in dinosaur fossil rings today.
A Kaleidoscope of Unique Colors and Patterns
The beauty of dinosaur fossil rings lies in their unique colors and patterns. These are determined by the type of mineral that replaced the bone’s cellular structure. Manganese, for instance, creates a deep black color, while quartz gives a transparent, icy appearance. Iron-oxide produces shades of red, brown, and yellow, and chromium can produce vivid green hues. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that is as unique as the individual wearing it.
On the Hunt: Where to Find Dinosaur Bones
Gembones are typically found in specific geographic areas. The most quality dinosaur bones, perfect for crafting into rings, are found in the four corners region of the USA, where Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico intersect. This region is rich in sediment, making it an ideal location for the preservation of dinosaur bones.
A Gift of Prehistoric Ethics
At Bold & Rustic, we are committed to ethical practices when crafting our unique dinosaur fossil rings. The gembones used in our rings are never part of a significant skeleton that holds scientific or cultural significance. Instead, we use fractured or mismatched bones that museums or universities would not find interesting.
Caring for Your Dinosaur Fossil Ring
Despite surviving millions of years, dinosaur fossil rings need to be treated with care. Dinosaur bone ranks a 6-7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, meaning it's slightly above opal and can be prone to scratches or dents. To keep your dinosaur gembone ring looking its best, avoid rough activities, harsh chemicals, and regularly clean your ring with a soft cloth.
Stocking Considerations
Due to the unique nature of the materials, we cannot guarantee that any ring will come back in stock once sold out. Each dinosaur bone is one-of-a-kind, and each ring is irreplaceable. So, if you fall in love with one of our rings, be sure to order it before it's gone forever!
