Now Worn Close to the Heart.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flying fish does not belong entirely to the sea, nor entirely to the sky — it inhabits the breathtaking moment between the two. Cast in solid cupronickel (white brass) using the ancient lost-wax method, every scale, every fin, every detail of this brooch is formed by hand before it is ever touched by gold. The pectoral wings and tail are finished in warm gold plating; the body shimmers in polished nickel plating — two finishes, one creature, one extraordinary piece of wearable sculpture. Pin it to a lapel, a collar, a bag, or a hat. Wear it as a conversation. Wear it as a declaration. Wear it as a reminder that the most beautiful things in nature are the ones that refuse to stay in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"width: 100%;

The result is a level of surface detail — individual scales, fin striations, the curve of the gill — that no stamping or die-casting process can replicate. Each piece is finished entirely by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold-Plated Wings \u0026amp; Tail, Nickel-Plated Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e The sweeping pectoral fins and tail are finished in warm gold plating, while the body and head are finished in polished nickel plating — a deliberate two-tone contrast that mirrors the flying fish’s own natural colouring as it breaks the surface of the sea. The plating is applied after casting and hand-finishing, ensuring even coverage across every surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on Handcrafted Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because every piece is cast and finished by hand using the lost-wax method, minor surface variations — faint texture differences, slight asymmetries, tiny pinholes — are an inherent and expected characteristic of the process. They are not defects. They are the signature of a piece made by human hands, not a machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e The brooch pin fastening allows it to be worn on lapels, collars, scarves, hats, bags, and jacket pockets. It works equally well on tailored suiting and casual knitwear — a piece that moves between contexts as freely as the fish it depicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.9589%; height: 175.25px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 18.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 18.5833px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 18.5833px;\"\u003eCupronickel \/ White Brass (lost-wax cast)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eFinish — Gold parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eGold plating (wings \u0026amp; tail)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eFinish — Silver parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eNickel plating (body \u0026amp; head)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eapprox. 6.3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eapprox. 40 mm \/ 1.57\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eapprox. 3.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eHeight (wingspan)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eapprox. 25 mm \/ 0.98\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5833px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.5568%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eFastening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 64.9828%; height: 19.5833px;\"\u003eBrooch pin (standard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDue to the lost-wax casting and hand-finishing process, minor surface variations are inherent to each piece.
