Long necklace with a pair of pendants in the shape of flower-filled cornucopia (nature casts of paper nautilus Argonauta hians and flowers of Indian pokeweed Phytolacca acinosa) inhabited by hyacinth macaws. The macaws’ engraved plumage is covered with translucent blue enamel; the beaks and the eye pupils are enameled black. One of a kind.
Myths of colossal sea monsters, prevalent across various cultures, attacking ships and dragging them into the depths with their arms, inspired this pendant. It depicts a cobalt blue enameled octopus clutching its prey, an amethyst scepter (crystal formed from two fused amethysts, their combined shape resembling that of a scepter). Reflecting the real-life characteristic of all members of the Octopodidae family, which lack a skeleton and thus possess extreme flexibility, the golden body of the octopus closely conforms to the shape of the crystal, gripping it tightly with its tentacles. On the underside of the tentacles are engraved suckers, and one of the tentacles forms the suspension loop.
