Prehistoric vs. Contemporary Shark Teeth

Prehistoric shark and megalodon shark are the center of Ocean Sands Jewelry. These teeth existed in the Miocene and Pliocene eras. The eras were 2.5 – 26 MILLION years ago. You can find wonderful specimens at:
Cooper River South Carolina
Calvert Cliffs State Park – Maryland
Aurora Fossil Museum – North Carolina
Peace River – Florida
Venice Beach – Florida

Prehistoric shark teeth make Ocean Sands a premium line of jewelry. The shark tooth is the center piece of the bracelets, earrings, keychains and necklaces. Tom Szabo dives the gulf coast waters of Florida. This is where he ethically recovers the shark teeth. The shark teeth date to the Miocene and Pliocene eras, 2.5 to 26 MILLION years ago. They are true prehistoric fossils. 

Ocean Sands Jewelry Specimens

Tom Szabo is a PADI Certified scuba diving instructor. For the shark teeth used in Ocean Sands Jewelry, he dives in 25 to 30 feet of water. The dive sites follow along an 8 mile stretch south of Venice Beach, Florida.

Making Jewelry

  • Pristine teeth are preferred. Some show feeding defects and/or environmental wear. This adds uniqueness to Ocean Sands Jewelry.
  • Prehistoric shark teeth are cleaned and polished in the studio. Cleaning methods vary with the condition of the individual tooth.
  • Shark teeth are sorted for size, species and condition. Similar species and size are paired together. Pairs are used to make earrings. As a result, shark teeth earrings are similar, not identical. Such variations mean the teeth are real, not reproductions.
  • All teeth are wire wrapped. Hardware or findings help to make bracelets, keychains and necklaces. Embellishments enhance and compliment the natural tooth shape and color.

Ocean Sands bracelets, earrings, keychains and necklaces suit men, women, boys and girls. They compliment beach wear, casual dress and evening wear. Tom’s jewelry can be worn  at home or on resort.

 Ethically Resourced

Tom recovers all prehistoric shark teeth fossils ethically. Automated harvesting techniques are not used. Teeth are retrieved strictly by hand, one by one. On occasion sifting may be employed for extremely small teeth. Tom is careful, not causing damage to the marine environment, corals and marine life. Some individual shark teeth are identified. Reliable identification sources are consulted.
