Silver setting for your fossil shark tooth

The pendants shown are examples of my work with fossil teeth from mako and great white sharks. For €350, I make a bespoke cap in 925 sterling silver and fit it to the root of your own fossil shark tooth. This price applies to a fossil shark tooth that is 3 to 5 cm long and similar in shape to the teeth shown in the photos. For larger fossil shark teeth, I’d be happy to provide a quote.

I start by modelling the cap in wax to fit the root of your tooth. I embed the wax model to make the mould and then cast the cap in 925 sterling silver. After casting, I adjust the fit, refine the shape and clean up the edges. I then secure the tooth inside the cap with a special two-part adhesive. Finally, I give the silver a matt finish using fine glass beads.

Care instructions

Please remove the pendant before showering, swimming or diving. Porous areas of the fossil tooth can absorb moisture. Repeated wetting and drying can damage the tooth over time.

I make these settings exclusively for fossil shark teeth. Before ordering, please email me a photo and the measurements of your tooth so I can check whether it is suitable for this setting. If you have any questions, you can call me on +49 89 85 66 22 10.
