Every line of the body, every detail of the dorsal fin, was created blow by blow in the workshop. It is not a piece from an industrial mold: it is a living animal in miniature, captured in silver. Its size (3.5 cm) makes it perfect for everyday wear without weight, yet substantial enough for anyone who sees it to know you are wearing something made with intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic sterling .925 silver, marked with the hallmark that certifies its purity. Chasing is a technique that demands precision: the artisan strikes from the back of the silver with specialized punches, raising volume and form without cutting the metal.
