Into the Sahara’s Deep Time: Fossil Hunting with the Amazigh

In Search of the Desert’s Ancient Secrets

The Sahara is an endless sea of sand, holding within it stories millions of years old. Here, in the heart of the desert, our journey begins — an expedition that inspired the creation of Ampulla Temporis. We travel along ancient routes guided by the Amazigh people, the indigenous custodians of this land, who have studied its secrets for centuries.
Ampulla Temporis is more than jewelry. It is a vessel of time — carrying the grandeur of nature, the power of history, and the spirit of an ancient culture.

People who travel this path with us

Expeditions across the Sahara are impossible without the Amazigh — people who know the desert as intimately as the lines on their palms. hey share with us their knowledge of how to find fossils hundreds of millions of years old. These relics of deep time become the foundation of our jewelry.

How Is the Fossil Hunting Going?

  • We travel into the Moroccan desert, where the traces of ancient oceans lie hidden.
  • We follow experienced guides and read the landscape like a map of deep time.
  • We discover fossils that still hold the shapes of the creatures that lived millions of years ago.
  • And we select the finest specimens to become Ampulla Temporis jewelry.
Each discovery is unique — shaped by nature over hundreds of millions of years.

From Fossil Hunt to Timeless Jewel

After the fossils are collected, the meticulous work of our artisans begins. We create pieces that reveal the natural beauty of the stone without altering its original form. Each piece of jewellery carries a trace of history, connecting the past with the present.

Why This Matters

  • We support the culture of the Amazigh people, working with their artisans and sharing the traditions of this ancient community with the world.
  • Our pieces reflect a philosophy of mindful creation and respect for nature.
  • Ampulla Temporis jewellery is not just an accessory — it is a symbol of connection with the history of our planet.

Ampulla Temporis — the Art of Time Held in Your Hands

Each piece created in the wake of our expeditions carries the energy of the ancient desert and the breath of millions of years. It is a choice for those who seek uniqueness, find meaning in details, and draw inspiration from the beauty of nature.
