Flying Fish Charm Sterling Silver | Ocean Marine Wildlife | Nautical Jewelry | Made in USA

The extended pectoral fins that function as wings are the defining feature of this charm, and the lost-wax casting process preserves their thin, translucent-looking structure. Centrifugal force during casting pushes molten silver into the finest fin details at approximately 50 G's of pressure. Hand-finishing emphasizes the contrast between the smooth body and the textured fin surfaces.

Flying fish can glide up to 650 feet above the ocean surface, using their enlarged pectoral fins as airfoils. They have been a source of wonder for sailors throughout maritime history and remain one of the most visually striking phenomena in marine biology. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.

Made for ocean lovers, marine biologists, deep-sea fishing enthusiasts, or anyone fascinated by the creatures that refuse to be limited by their element. A standout piece on a nautical charm bracelet, a scuba diving trip memento, or a pendant for anyone who admires nature's engineering.
