These are stunning silver drop earrings - the shape and contours of Spriggina are reminiscent of feathers, leaves or arrowheads. 

 

Spriggina (Sprig-ee-na) is the oldest animal fossil on Earth discovered with a head! This small but complex fossil is thought to be an ancestor of arthropods (e.g. crabs, prawns, insects).
