More about this collection
Did you know there are more fish species than mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians put together? 33,000 that we know of so far... Each one has its own unique adaptations to its environment and different skills and personalities. Yes, you read that right; fish really do have feelings! Fish can recognise each other and remember different individuals. They form relationships, care for their young, show affection, and even have a little chat every now and again by making low-frequency sounds. Fish have complex nervous systems and feel pain just like all other animals. And yet, between 1 and 2.7 trillion fish are killed every year by humans. Rather than thinking of fish as something to catch for sport, eat for tea, or keep as a pet, perhaps it’s time to think more deeply and start treating fish with respect and kindness. This collection celebrates fish swimming free and happy in the sea, rivers, and ponds. Each piece would make the ideal jewellery fish gift for anyone who values fish and recognises how amazing they are.
