Ammolite

Ammolite Jewelry in Grand Cayman

Iridescent ammolite, a rare organic gem that carries the colour of the sea and shore.

A Rare Organic Gem

Iridescence You Cannot Manufacture

Iridescent ammolite and warm Caribbean coral are the rare organic gems we set, stones that carry the colour of the sea and shore rather than the colour of a mineral. Ammolite flashes green, red and gold as it moves, and no two pieces repeat.

Like opal and coral, ammolite is a softer organic material, so it belongs in pendants and earrings, or in rings set protectively and worn with some care. We set it in 14-carat and 18-carat gold, often with a diamond surround to frame the iridescence.

It is bought on the strength and spread of the colour flash, which means it has to be seen moving in the hand rather than chosen from a photograph.

Questions

Good to Know

What is ammolite?

Ammolite is a rare organic gem material prized for its strong iridescence, flashing green, red and gold as the light moves across it. Like opal and coral it is organic rather than mineral, and every piece is unique.

Is ammolite durable?

It is a softer organic material, so it is best set in pendants and earrings, or in rings with a protective setting worn with some care. We will advise on the setting that suits the piece you choose.
