The Beginning of Every Ampulla Temporis Piece
The creation of an Ampulla Temporis jewel begins long before the piece takes its final form. Each ornament is not merely an accessory — it is an artifact that carries a story hundreds of millions of years old. Its foundation is a unique fossil discovered in the Sahara Desert, and transforming it into an elegant piece requires careful selection and professional preparation.
How the Materials Are Selected
The fossils used in our jewellery possess unique natural qualities that determine their strength, texture and aesthetic value. The selection process includes several essential stages.
- Search and Initial Analysis. In the desert regions of Morocco, the Ampulla Temporis team, together with the Amazigh people, explores sandy and rocky strata where rare fossils may be hidden.
- Quality Assessment. Each discovered specimen undergoes a detailed examination. We look at the degree of preservation, the presence of natural patterns, and its potential for further refinement.
- Choosing the Finest Specimens. Only fossils that meet our high standards of durability and beauty are chosen for production.
Preparing Fossils Before Crafting
Before becoming an exclusive piece of jewellery, each fossil is treated with great care to preserve its natural beauty and strengthen its structure.
- Cleaning. The fossils are delicately cleaned of sand and fine particles while maintaining their original form.
- Stabilisation. If a specimen is fragile, a gentle strengthening technique is applied to protect it from damage during further work.
- Sanding and Polishing. Special tools reveal the natural shine and texture of the fossil’s surface, highlighting the unique pattern shaped by nature over millions of years.
Why Careful Preparation Matters
Ampulla Temporis jewellery is created with respect for tradition and a philosophy of mindful craftsmanship. We strive to intervene as little as possible, preserving the authenticity of each fossil.
- The quality of the final piece depends directly on this stage.
- Natural materials require particular attention to detail.
- Preserving the fossil’s structure ensures that every creation is unique.
Nature’s Legacy in Every Piece
The fossils selected and prepared by Ampulla Temporis artisans become more than jewellery — they become guides into the ancient past. They hold traces of distant epochs, uniting the present with the deep history of the Earth. This is what makes Ampulla Temporis creations truly unique — pieces filled with meaning and the quiet spirit of eternity.
