Ammolite

Does anyone have this stone? I was watching HSN and they had a whole hour of it. It is from Canada. I really like this ring but it sold out in my size.

I do.

A ring and a pendant purchased from QVC years ago. They are both set in 14k. I really like both pieces.

I love fossils and this stone is a fossil. It's a piece of fossilized amonite. Ammonites are extinct mollusks that had chambers inside their shells which resemble the chambers that modern nautilus shells have. I've been wanting an ammonite pendant for a long time. Below is an amonite fossil.

@Pecky @What about wearing the ring on a different finger. Its a cool looking ring. Middle or index fingers would look good with this ring.

I bought an ammolite ring at the Chateau at Lake Louise in the gift shop about 1980. It's predominately red and green. I rarely, if ever, wear it. It's a large oval set in gold.

I have a necklace I purchased in 2006 in Canada before our cruise to Alaska.

If you're going to buy a stone like ammolite from homeshopping then I would buy more than one b/c you don't have the luxury of being there in person to compare stones. They can vary widely in color between different stones.

I got an opal bracelet from a homeshopping channel once. I bought three of the same, got them home, inspected them for color and sent two back. They were very different looking from one another and I'm glad I got three of them to compare side by side.

@Mindy D I would wear it on my middle finger. I will keep watching to see if it comes back in stock.

@Pecky is there a trusted jewelry repair shop near where you live? Maybe you can have it resized. My ring size is 4.75 and I buy rings and get them sized down to fit me. The ammolite ring is very beautiful! I hope that they restock it so that you can get it

It's a beautiful stone. I first saw it when I went to Banff and Jasper in Canada. It's a pretty pricey stone. I have a small necklace I purchased when there and I own Jay King's earrings on HSN 737-353. His are set in sterling of course but the price is reasonable.

I have a beautiful pendant set in 14K gold that I bought on a cruise in 2000. Every cruise I buy myself a piece of jewelry as my souvenir.

I have a minority opinion. To me it looks like plastic.
