Mandarinfish kulgi uniseks 18 karatli oltin kulgi bo'lib, turli madaniyatlarda uyg'unlik va baxt ramzi, shuningdek birlik va chuqur aloqalarning ifodasi bo'lgan Mandarin balig'idan ilhomlangan. Mandarinfish kulgi mandarin balig'ining rangli tanasining mohiyatini vizuallashtiradi. Dizaynda qimmatbaho toshlar sifatida Safir, Zumrad va Olmosning turli soyalari va ranglaridan foydalanish hayotiylik, tabiiy mavjudotlarning go'zalligi va boylikni ramziy ma'noda ifodalaydi, bu esa kulgini nafaqat taqiladigan aksessuarga, balki suv ekotizimlari bilan bog'lanish yo'liga aylantiradi.
