On a dive in Mauritius, Forbes was extremely lucky to observe the 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, a dragon’s scales, a chameleon’s free-roving eyes and changeable colours, a monkey’s tail, a kangaroo’s pouch, an insect’s armour, and a hummingbird’s wings—yet the fact remains that it is simply a fish. A rare and beautiful fish, that inspired Forbes to create this design of a seahorse ascending from a cluster of pearls.

These beautiful sterling silver handcrafted earrings are 5cm long.

Made in Mauritius.
