Piranha Charm Sterling Silver | Fish Jewelry | Made in USA

The piranha — South America's most notorious fish — cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA at 5/8" x 1/2" with jaws that mean business.

Lost-wax casting captures the piranha's deep, laterally compressed body, the jutting lower jaw, interlocking teeth, and the powerful tail that propels it through Amazonian waters. At 2 grams, the charm is compact but detailed. Each piece is hand-polished to a mirror finish that accentuates the predatory profile.

Despite their fearsome reputation, piranhas are mostly scavengers. The red-bellied piranha's bite force relative to body size is among the highest ever measured in any vertebrate — three times stronger than an alligator pound for pound. They school for protection, not aggression, and play a vital role in river ecosystems as nature's cleanup crew.

A bold choice for aquarium hobbyists, Amazon explorers, ichthyology students, or anyone who likes their jewelry with a little bite. Arrives with a sterling silver jump ring attached, ready for a bracelet or pendant chain.
