Ammonite in silver

Ammonite decorated in 925 sterling silver.

It is so ancient that it has the right to embody time itself. And all known to us history of mankind will keep within a couple of moments in a cycle of existence of this type...

The Ammonite sink for many of the world's peoples is considered a symbol of happiness, wealth and prosperity, and in a broader sense — infinity. Ammonite gives foresight and a sense of connection times. Has no restrictions on the signs of the Zodiac.

In Ireland they were called "petrified snakes", in Germany, the "Golden snails". Shamans and sorcerers used the Ammonite to communicate with the "other" world and to enhance foresight. The Greeks, like the Egyptians, had placed the shell of the Ammonite in the head at night and believed that they will see the upcoming night of good sleep.

Ammonites, or ammonoids (lat. Ammonoidea), is a subclass of extinct cephalopods that have existed since Devonian (419 million years.) Cretaceous (66 million years) periods. The name of the Ammonites was in honor of the Greek God Amon with curved horns.
