The Inspiration: The Sardine & Wax Carving
The sardine, the most familiar and characteristic fish of the Mediterranean sea, is the absolute inspiration behind this design. Its clean silhouette is captured in the metal through a highly skilled process. To create this piece, we utilize the traditional art of wax carving. The original fish pendant is hand-carved into hard wax, emphasizing its realistic, clean details, before being cast into solid 925 sterling silver. This production method ensures consistent, high-quality craftsmanship in every single piece. Read in detail about our process in our article: Wax Carving for Jewelry: The Ultimate Guide to Handcrafted Creations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the adjustable cord work? The cord (maximum length 80 cm) features a single fixed knot. To shorten it and adjust it exactly to your desired length (e.g., higher on the chest), simply tie a new knot at the appropriate spot.
-
Can I wear the necklace in the sea or shower? Yes, the solid 925 sterling silver and its cord are water-resistant. However, if you have chosen a gold-plated or oxidized finish, frequent contact with saltwater and soap may accelerate the natural fading of the outer coating.
-
Is 925 sterling silver hypoallergenic? Absolutely. Our jewelry is nickel-free and completely safe for daily wear, offering a comfortable fit against the skin.
