Echinoderm Marine Taxonomy Charm

A composite charm informed by marine taxonomy, translating biological forms into ornament.

The pendants reference echinoderms — specifically starfish of class Asteroidea — retaining their radial symmetry and five-armed structure. Surface detailing echoes calcified ossicles, introducing texture and rigidity.

Multiple star forms are clustered at varying scales, suggesting species variation and natural aggregation patterns rather than uniform repetition. Each element is independently suspended, allowing movement and reconfiguration.

A white lace tie softens the metallic system — flexible, and filament-like — contrasting the metallic forms and extending the composition outward.

Anchored by a clasp keyring, the piece functions as a suspended assemblage of marine creatures.
