Garibaldi Fish

Since the Garibaldi is best known for its bright orange color, rendering California's state marine fish in plain gold-tone brass requires a heavy reliance on texture. I appreciate how the photo-etching technique captures the deep-bodied shape and notched dorsal fins of this territorial damselfish without needing any enamel. The fine linework defines the thick scales clearly, resulting in a compact earring design that reads easily on its structural merits alone.
