Swarovski topaz swimming Sea Goldies fish figurine

Dazzling in shape and colour and inspired by the fascinating life under the sea, these topaz Sea Goldies make a well-balanced and fantastic piece. Inspired, as the best things always are, by the beauty found in our natural world, these Sea Goldies will brighten up any surface that they grace, and can even brighten up an entire room. If you’ve been searching for a special present that will be well-received and make a great impression, consider this at the top of your list of gift ideas. These expertly hand crafted crystal fish swirl together connected by a silver-tone metal band that creates the effect of the fish swimming in a random orderas they would in their natural environment. This metal band supports the piece at two stable points and not only serves to make the piece sturdy but is part of the piece itself, reminiscent of the form of kelp drifting elegantly in the ocean. Its shiny and highly reflective surface is embossed with the pattern of corral to reflect the natural habitat of these brilliant little fish that live in the Indian Ocean. The four females are crafted from light orange topaz, and surround the male, who is larger in size and crafted from dark purple topaz in contrast. The hue of the topaz fish fades gradually from a darker colour at the head to the lighter colours near the bases.Indeed, the two sexes almost appear as two different species, not only due to the difference in size and colour scheme but even their shapes. While the females are graced with small fins all around, the male shows a larger head fin that points back and displays a different shape than that of the females. Through the work of designer Elisabeth Adamer for Swarovski, these brilliant Sea Goldies have captureda little piece of natural beauty from under the sea and in this precious form can become an inspiration to use from many miles away.
