The adventure of discovery
At Traffic Stopper Jewelry, every piece tells a story starting with an incredible journey. Discover how we unearth the natural treasures that become your unique jewelry.
Unearthing Ancient Natural Treasures
The most exciting part of our work is the thrill of discovery. We go to extraordinary lengths to find our amazing Megalodon teeth and agatized coral. We dive into rivers and gulfs, meticulously sift through secret and not so secret mines, beaches old quarry sites, and surface hunts along ancient riverbeds and coastlines. We also collaborate with experienced local guides and support local shops, ensuring we find only the finest and most authentic materials for our jewelry. We use only 925 sterling silver, gold as well as precious and semi precious gem stones.
From raw finds to wearable art
Turning these raw finds into beautiful jewelry pieces is where our secret touch comes to life. We have custom built a fine art shop equipped with state-of-the-art lapidary equipment for shaping and polishing, dedicated silversmithing stations for expert metalwork, and a spacious design and layout area. This allows us to transform each unique tooth and coral into a stunning, high-end pendant with precision and creativity.
The journey behind each piece is allot more hours than you might think
It's important for our customers to understand the journey of their jewelry. We source Megalodon teeth from well-known and less common locations such as Peace River, FL, Venice, FL, Folly Beach, SC, Savannah, GA, and Topsail Island, NC. Our agatized coral and druzy crystals are found in Tampa Bay, and we even journey to Western North Carolina for rubies, kyanite, sapphires, and garnets. Knowing these origins connects you to the natural history and rarity of each piece.
