Each gorgeous rainbow moonstone is unique in it’s depth and color variation, as it occurs in nature. This adds to the individuality and beauty of each piece, making it a true one of a kind. Chatoyant gemstones, such as moonstone have inclusions within them, and this is what creates the light refraction and the color flash. These are not flaws or cracks, they are part of the beauty of the gemstone.
The seahorse is quite a unique creature, and thought to have mystical significance among ancient cultures. They were revered for their power and strength, thought to be symbols of good luck, patience and contentment. They are happy with being exactly who they are!
Note: Seahorse necklace photo shown on model is in labradorite.

All of the FantaSea designs are original copyrighted designs. Each piece in the Collection is made using the lost wax casting process. For those who love to learn about these ancient artisanal arts please see the following paragraph for more information on this magical process.
Each of my designs begins it's journey by being hand carved and sculpted in wax, or fabricated from hand forged precious metal. A mold is made of the original model or sculpture. An identical wax is obtained, from injection into this rubber mold. The wax or waxes are sprued and fused onto a base. Then a metal flask, which resembles a short length of steel pipe is put over the sprue base and the waxes. Investment (refractory plaster) is mixed and poured into the flask, filling it. It hardens, then the wax is burned out. Precious Metal is melted in a crucible, then poured carefully into the shell, filling in the negative space where the wax once was through the sprue. Once filled and cooled, the shell is hammered or sand-blasted away, releasing the rough casting. The sprues, which are also created in metal, are cut off, and the newly cast piece is sanded and polished until it's perfect!
Made in the US Virgin Islands with love...
