Sea Fan Collection

This collection makes the fragile, lace-like structure of sea fan coral permanent, transforming the delicate organic structure into brilliant precious metal. This coral was collected from the beach of Mustique Island, where it had washed up on shore and dried in the sun. We cast small pieces of this natural wonder, allowing the intricate form to shine.

Merzatta all started when one of us picked up a single piece of sea fan coral from a beach on Mustique in the Caribbean Grenadines. We could see that nature had created a beautiful piece of jewelry, and when we cast it, we were so dazzled that we began to create even bigger swaths of these delicate undersea fans – wide enough to dangle from the ear or wrap around a wrist, while still preserving both the delicate organic structure and the curves and twists of the way this coral dances with the currents.
