Happy Dolphin - SOLD

Bling-mix: Hand-carved Amazonite Dolphin, Freshwater Pearls & Moonstone
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled

Please note: This is the absolute only piece available in this stone, sorry! No modified remakes possible. I do have one last dolphin in rose quartz.

Did you know that 2007 is the International Year of the Dolphin?

I didn't till Googling to find out more about these beautiful, gregarious creatures.

Read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(International)_Year_of_the_Dolphin

Taking inspiration from Lucky Seahorse, Happy Dolphin also features swirls of wirework and little accents of freshwater pearls and tiny moonstone beads.

I'm thinking of adding a few more starfish charms too ... I'll collaborate with the new owner on the final touches :))

Pendant measures about 4cm and necklace (fine chain of 14K gold-filled) length is up to you.

All gold bits, including charms, chains and wirework are 14K gold-filled.

Lucky Seahorse - SOLD

Bling-mix: Hand-carved Amazonite seahorse & freshwater pearls
Bling "hardware": All gold bits are 14K gold-filled
Dimensions: Pendant is about 5.5cm; you choose the length of the gold-filled chain

Note: Only one available, sorry! But I will be checking with the store to see if there are some more seahorses so that variations can be made -- I never make two items exactly alike to keep each piece as unique as humanly possible :))

In some cultures, seahorses are considered to be very lucky. A quick search on Google didn't say why, but I did find out lots about these cute creatures.

For example, the male seahorse becomes "pregnant" (gestation is just two to three weeks, the lucky things). The female deposits her eggs in the male's pouch and he keeps watch over the little ones.

Most seahorses are also monogamous -- ie. they mate for life. They are voracious eaters: each seahorse consumes about 3,000 tiny shrimps a day! The shrimps are eaten whole as seahorses have no teeth.

This little fella is made of amazonite and I thought to add a little flourish of wirework to depict the ocean's waves.

Carrying on the marine theme are accents of little freshwater pearls and 14K gold-filled starfish.

All gold bits are 14K gold-filled, including chain, jump rings, wire and lobster clasp (not shown). Total pendant length is about 5.5 cm.

I've not attached the necklace (fine gold-filled chain) yet because you get to choose the length.
