Are your shark teeth ethically sourced?
Absolutely!! Every single shark tooth incorporated into our jewelry has been ethically sourced. We consistently snorkel, free dive, and scuba dive for shark teeth in Venice, FL, also known as the shark tooth capitol of the world. It's important to highlight that our jewelry features only black or brown shark teeth, indicative of their fossilized nature.
How old are fossilized shark teeth?
The fossilized shark teeth we find range from around 10,000 years old, to millions of years old!
What is the symbolic meaning of shark teeth?
Shark teeth are often seen as a symbol of self-confidence and protection. Spiritually, they are known to be very grounding, providing strength to those who wear them.
Where do you find so many fossilized shark teeth?
We scuba dive and snorkel for shark teeth in Venice, Florida. Venice is known as the “shark tooth capitol of the world” due to the massive amount of fossilized shark teeth that are found there. Pro tip: shark teeth are especially prevalent at Casperson Beach;)
It’s estimated that some sharks shed approximately 35,000 teeth in their lifetime. Millions of years ago, when Florida was submerged underwater, it hosted a thriving population of sharks. As the waters gradually receded and transformed into land, their teeth still remained. Although their skeletal structures decayed over time, their teeth endured and fossilized, resulting in the plentiful supply we encounter today.
