Materials

33.62 carats of carved Ruby fish are set in this 22 karat Gold Garland. Its 3.5 carat Pink Tourmaline center and is accented by 1 carat of Australian Opals.

Brief description

The color of these exquisitely carved Ruby Fish reminded me of the shimmering bodies of rainbow trout. Garlands have been made for tens of thousands of years, but nowhere, have I seen an example of a Garland that hangs like the Golden Rainbow Fish. The golden waves upon which the Ruby Fish swim are plotted by a sequential rotation and alternation of the spiraling rectangle. Fish, swimming in the watery subconscious are associated with the secrets of life, intuition and the eerie depths of mystical experience. The tremendous distances covered and heroic upstream journeys of migrating fish, are suggestive of the spiritual initiate and the cycling orbits of heavenly bodies.

Date astro

The Garland’s simplicity is deceptive as it took over a year and a half to craft. It was completed on the Leo New Moon of August 3rd, 1997.
