One of Jean Vendome’s inimitable specialties was the pairing of ammonites and precious metals. He came back to these fossilized creatures again and again during his long career, creating earrings, necklaces, and rings that showcased the long-lost spirit and delicacy of their remains. Similar pieces, in which the artist subsumed ammonite slices in smooth gold and compared them with unbroken discs, can be seen in Marlène Crégut-Ledué, Jean Vendome: les voyages précieux d’un créateur, Faton, Paris 2008, p. 217
