Octopus marks the beginning of a new chapter. A first creature emerge: fascinating, elusive, in constant transformation.
With its three hearts and nine brains, the octopus is defined by remarkable intelligence. It embodies a fluid form of wisdom, able to adapt, vanish, and reappear. The medallion captures the movement of its tentacles, suspended in an underwater dance. On the reverse, a hand-engraved signature seals the piece.
More than a jewel, Octopus is an amulet, the first of a bestiary in the making.
