Vazon Shark Tooth Ring in Sterling Silver

You will receive one lovely and genuine Floridian fossilized shark tooth. On the beaches of Amelia Island, we find 5-10 per day thanks to Florida being an inland sea 20million years ago... The simple, organic shape has not been altered in any way, and has been honored with a handmade satin-finished fine silver bezel set on a dainty but sturdy twisted sterling silver band. It is very much a statement piece and comfortable for every-day wear. ITEM DETAILS// -.925 Sterling Silver -Genuine Surf-Tumbled fossilized shark tooth -Handmade in Florida in my coastal home studio ABOUT SHARK TEETH// Shark teeth have been collected on our shores for millennia; Its popularity today is a testament to a new cultural way of life becoming more mainstream - recycled and recyclable “long design”. It is considered by many to be some of best shark teeth in the world. ABOUT THE ART// I create each and every piece in my little Florida studio. My recent work is characterized by the natural, organic perspective of found objects specifically of sea glass, which is formed while tumbling for decades in the oceans, seas, great lakes and rivers. I feel that my years of holistic observation and practice lend a certain simplicity to my work and I emphasise that no piece of sea glass is ever altered in any way, which allows each piece to speak to the wearer with its own conviction and purity. I specialize in "Long Design" because it integrates high quality recycled or reused material with timeless design to produce a heirloom quality piece that ensures an extremely long lifetime. And contrary to modern production techniques, there is no planned obsolescence in my work and never will be. I strive to create beauty with a conscious; jewelry is a statement of a socially and environmentally responsible lifestyle. A NOTE ON WEAR// I have chosen high quality materials that make a piece of jewelry that can last a lifetime. While my pieces are made for those with adventurous spirit, please take care while wearing my pieces as sea glass and natural stones can be delicate. To prolong the life of your piece, I suggest you remove it while swimming, hiking, rock climbing, cliff jumping, skydiving or whatever other crazy and rigorous adventure you might find yourself on!

To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach—waiting for a gift from the sea."
