Double Bottlenose Dolphin Variants

A solid outer frame encloses this pair of bottlenose dolphins, an arrangement that reflects the highly social nature of the species. The photo-etching process clearly defines their curved dorsal fins and stout beaks, while fine lines along the flanks give the flat metal a sense of volume. I have cataloged these pendants and earrings in gold-tone, rhodium, and sterling silver, with some variants also incorporating beadwork.
