Vintage Fossilised Megalodon Tooth

This striking vintage pendant features a fossilised tooth from a megalodon—the largest shark species to have ever lived, which ruled the oceans between 23 and 3.6 million years ago. Megalodons could grow to an astonishing 19 metres in length, three times the size of a great white shark, making this fossil a remarkable piece of natural history.

The large fossilised tooth is capped in handcrafted silver, providing a secure setting while allowing the impressive form of the tooth to remain the focal point. The tooth displays a smooth, tactile surface with a natural dark, silken finish, offering a sense of ancient, untamed power.

Measuring approximately 4.5cm by 4.5cm and weighing 27 grams, this piece is substantial yet comfortable to wear. Minor chips, including one at the tip, are commensurate with age but do not detract from the pendant’s bold appeal.

Jewellery set with exotic animal teeth has a long history as a talisman, believed to imbue the wearer with the strength, speed, and cunning of the creature it once belonged to. 

A bold and historically significant piece, perfect for those with an appreciation for the natural world and its ancient wonders.
