Textured stud earrings made from a million year old Trilobite fossil, a captured replication of a past world full of life, legend, and mystery.

Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record is over 521 million years ago. By the time trilobites first appeared in the fossil record, they were already highly diversified and geographically dispersed. Because trilobites had wide diversity and an easily fossilized exoskeleton, they left an extensive fossil record. The study of their fossils has facilitated important contributions to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolutionary biology, and plate tectonics.

Mountainside is a demi-fine jewelry line handmade by Amber Duncan in the Santa Cruz mountains of California.

Each piece is crafted through a combination of water, fire and earth. Delicate yet bold, designed to ignite strength and confidence as well as femininity and grace - jewelry to be worn as both armor and amulet.

Various styles are crafted using hammered metals, lapidary stone cutting, and the ancient process of lost wax casting. Each design intends to accent the inherent beauty of the natural materials and organic forms. Metal and stone are formed with a focus on texture, sculpture, movement, comfort and imperfection.

Inspired by the stories behind symbolic shapes and imagery, the curious lore and sentimentality of objects and emblems, the past uses and mythologies surrounding gemstones and talismans. For each piece, a new story begins.
