ABOUT
This pendant is the result of a custom order, inspired by another pufferfish pendant we had previously created. The main difference lies in the use of ocean jasper to represent the spherical body of the famous fugu fish, where an antique glass cabochon was used in the original design. This choice of semi-precious stone adds a unique and organic touch to this new creation.
The pufferfish, also known as a balloonfish, takifugu, or simply fugu, is a fascinating creature that inflates with water when threatened, taking on its characteristic spherical shape. Despite its harmless appearance, this fish is known for producing an extremely potent poison, making it a rare and prized delicacy, particularly in Japan. In this country, the preparation of fugu is a rigorously controlled art, reserved for chefs holding a special license issued by the state, ensuring their expertise and the safety of consumers.
To create this pendant, we carefully cut the silhouette of the pufferfish from a sheet of silver, before setting the ocean jasper at the heart of its body. Each detail was meticulously crafted, with small pieces patiently cut and soldered around the stone to give the jewelry a striking three-dimensional effect, enhanced by a subtle patina that brings the whole piece to life.
The ocean jasper, with its orbicular patterns and shades of green, gray, and white, forms not only the body of the fish but also a unique eye. This detail reinforces the impression of being watched by this little marine animal, creating a mysterious and poetic connection between the jewelry and its wearer. Each pendant is thus a miniature work of art, combining beauty, symbolism, and craftsmanship, resulting in a piece that is as intriguing as it is precious.
