Designed and created by the talented artists at Park City Jewelers, dramatic angles of 14K yellow gold and 14K white gold boldly frame the rugged beauty of this dinosaur bone. Channel set diamonds handsomely accent a daring curve of 14K white gold for a dashing and eye-catching appeal. Unique and bold with a distinctly contemporary style, this pendant is created with the natural beauty and rarity of dinosaur bone.

Agatized dinosaur bone fossils are found throughout the world. In order to agatize, dinosaur bones have to be petrified sometime between 65,000,000 to 230,000,000 years ago. Once an animal dies, the organic bone must be covered by volcanic ash, volcanic lava flow, volcanic mud-flows, sediments in lakes and swamps, mud, silt, or clay washed in by floods, or landslides. After burial in an environment where oxygen has been excluded, preventing decay, petrification occurs by replacing the original organic material. Fossils are formed once the ground water first dissolves out the tissue and leaves minerals in its place.

Agatized dinosaur bone is a rare form of fossilized dinosaur bone where the original fossilized bone has been replaced with silica-based compounds such as agate, jasper, chalcedony, or opal. Utah and Colorado provide the perfect environment to begin the replacement of the calcite in the original fossils with silicates. The most prominent layers of gem bone come from the Morrison Formation. The agatized bone was created over 100,000,000 years after the dinosaur died and was buried.

The building block of agatized bone (silica oxide) is the same material that is used in the creation of quartz and glass. As is true with most fossils, the original structural detail of the bone is preserved allowing us to see the cell structure.  The varied and unique colors of dinosaur bone are caused by the other minerals that enter the bone in combination with the silica. The intensity of the color depends on the quantity each mineral that is present.

Woman Wearing Park City Jewelers Dinosaur Bone Bracelet

5-Star Review

"I just received my gembone necklace from Ken Whipple, and I am blown away! Beautiful workmanship, exquisite design, fantastic quality material. The beads that Ken selected to highlight the yellows in the bone complement the pendant beautifully. I love how substantial it is, and the fact that I am basically getting two in one by being able to wear the necklace on both sides! Thank you again, so very much."

Why You Should Choose Park City Jewelers

  • Family owned and operated.
  • The owners are in the store daily.
  • Repeat customers are the hallmark of our business.
  • Jewelry is a lifetime purchase. 90% of businesses fail in the first five years. Don’t get left out in the cold by purchasing from a website that's not going to be there tomorrow, that is going to be difficult to contact, or that has overseas customer service.
  • Makes any appraisals, repairs, or new purchases easy and effortless
  • We own our own building which allows us to save significantly on operating costs. We pass these savings on to you.
  • Every call, email, or text messages is handled by a real person that works in the store daily.
  • Each member of our team has at least a decade of experience in jewelry, often twice that much.
  • GIA certified experts and gemologists.
  • Mass-produced jewelry from overseas almost always cuts corners on quality, and those corners will significantly negatively impact the life and longevity of the piece. You’re much more likely to lose stones, and the piece will need many more repairs over its lifetime. In our experience, you’ll be fortunate if the piece doesn’t need to be replaced within the first 10 years. 
  • Our jewelry is designed to last a lifetime, and we back it up with a lifetime warranty. 
  • Our diamond and gem experts hand-select each diamond and gemstone from hundreds to offer the best in quality and price.  
  • We only use high-quality earring backs and lobster clasps. Other jewelers use low quality earring backs and lobster clasps to save money, and in the hopes they'll be able to sell you more jewelry if you happen to lose it.
  • We alloy and cast our own silver and gold right here in the store, and almost all of the gold and silver we use in our jewelry is recyled. This provides significant savings, which we pass on to our customers. It also helps protect the environment from harmful mining practices.
  • Our jewelry is made by master goldsmiths and jewelers in our shop located in the basement of our Park City location. These artisans have spent a lifetime dedicated to their craft.
  • We design our jewelry to be unique and beautiful. You won't find out designs anywhere else.
