Aqua Atua

Private Collection

This single carousel seahorse music box was created for a client. Aqua is a greenish-blue color, often thought of as the shade of water and the Latin root word for ocean. And Atua is a Polynesian word for a supreme being. Most of the gemstones, the black pearls, and the music box carousel were provided by the client due to their sentimental value. The seahorse is adorned with Cambodian blue zircons, aquamarine, rubies, cubic zirconias, and a quartz crystal. The base features a shell filled with black pearls and a gold gilded sand dollar adorned with opal. The seahorse is naturally deceased.
