On a dive in Mauritius I was extremely lucky to observe this remarkable creature, the Common Seahorse or Hippocampus Kuda, a Greek word meaning “horse monster”.

The seahorse is an amusing amalgam of incongruous parts—a horse’s head, dragon’s scales, the free-roving eyes and changeable colours of a chameleon, tail of a monkey, a kangaroo’s pouch, the armour of an insect, and the wings of a hummingbird—yet the fact remains that it is simply a fish. A rare and beautiful fish, that inspired me to create this design of a Seahorse ascending from a cluster of pearls.

These beautiful 18ct yellow gold handcrafted earrings are 5cm long.

Made in Mauritius.
