French Angelfish

Tiny etched notches across the deep, rounded body of this French angelfish mimic the pale-edged scales that identify the real Atlantic reef species. By relying on extensive openwork to define the tall dorsal fin and crescent tail, the photo-etched brass remains lightweight enough for earrings. I rarely come across this specific design, but the careful texturing reads clearly in both the gold and silver-rhodium finishes.
