About Mandarinfish Prívesok

Prívesok Mandarinfish je unisex prívesok z 18-karátového zlata inšpirovaný mandarínskou rybkou, ktorá je v rôznych kultúrach symbolom harmónie a šťastia a predstavuje jednotu a hlboké väzby. Prívesok Mandarinfish vizualizuje podstatu farebného tela mandarínskej rybky, pričom použitie rôznych odtieňov a farieb zafíru, smaragdu a diamantu ako drahých kameňov v dizajne symbolizuje vitalitu, krásu prírodných tvorov a šťastie, vďaka čomu sa prívesok stáva nielen nositeľným doplnkom, ale aj cestou k prepojeniu s vodnými ekosystémami.
