Kwan-de-lacy
Clenched securely in its mouth is a little fish, carved out of vibrant turquoise. The combination of the two materials creates an eye-catching contrast that simply cannot be ignored. The spiny oyster shell gives the bear a rustic and earthy feel, while the turquoise adds a pop of color and liveliness. It's one of those pieces that captures your attention from across the room and continues to mesmerize you as you get closer.
