The Fiddlehead was hand-crafted by our founder, William M. Cross in 1924 for this daughter’s 16th birthday. The original Fiddlehead was set with a green Maine tourmaline, also cut and polished by William.
The Fiddlehead Ring was passed down through generations of the Cross family and a was most recently given to William’s great-great-granddaughter. Because there were two great-great-granddaughters, we made another. It came out so beautifully we made a few more. And as they say, “The rest is history.” Choose this ring, share in its history and you too become part of the family.
These are fiddleheads, the precursors to fern fronds. They magically unroll in the spring in a few weeks to reveal feathery ferns.
These are Ammonites, a type of snail that was one of Earth’s most successful creatures for 200 million years. Some Ammonites grew to over 6 feet in diameter.
Stylized Viking ship bow.
Moon snail we have on our beaches in New England. Some grew to be bigger than a grapefruit. The spiral is pure magic.

Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
