Fauna & Flora Celebration Collection
|
: |
Our celebration collection features vibrant leaves and flowers, as well as captivating creatures, all inspired by nature.
Our passion for flora and fauna motivates us to craft these timeless creations.
Our collection is dominated by perennial favourites like flowers, leaves, and other natural creations.
Our collection has a natural appearance because of the methodical arrangement of colorful gems, carefully selected mother-of-pearl, and stones, which produce a balanced and elegant effect.
One of the most delicate and breathtakingly beautiful creatures in the world flutters into our collection. Some of our most magical jewelry is inspired by the butterfly, which is whimsically colorful and so light and graceful on the wing.
Pearls, Tsavorites, Rubies, Sapphires, Diamonds and other precious gemstones are prominently used in our creations.

Type of shell |
: |
Syrinx aruanus, common name the Australian trumpet or false trumpet, is a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx.
This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world, and arguably the largest (heaviest) gastropod in the world. Although the shell itself is quite well known to shell collectors because of its extraordinary size, little is known about the ecology and behavior of the species, except for one study about its feeding habits.
This species occurs in the northern half of Australia and adjacent areas, including eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
These giant snails live on sandy bottoms in the intertidal zone and the sublittoral down to about 30 meters.
It has not been over fished and this snail is locally very common.
It is fished for food / consumption.
