They come from the same studio and the same technique, but they don't wear the same way at all. The difference isn't the animal: it's the number of charms and the colour of the beaded strand.
The Crab necklace, to be seen
Four red crabs spaced all the way around the strand, rather than grouped at the front. It's the only piece that shows from behind as well as in front, and the only one that stays readable as you move: whatever the angle, there's always a creature in view.
It's also the busiest. It stands on its own — no need to add a second necklace, it already fills the space.
The Octopus necklace, one charm and it's enough
A single red octopus set to one side of the navy-blue strand. It draws the eye without crowding, and it layers beautifully with a shorter fine chain.
It's the best compromise if you can't decide: present enough to be noticed, understated enough to wear to the office.
The Shrimp necklace, the most discreet
A red-and-white shrimp, elongated, finer than the other charms. The stripes are painted one by one while the glass is hot, and it's the piece where the craft reads best up close.
Choose it if you wear little jewellery, or if you want a piece that reveals itself as you come closer rather than from three metres away.
The Cactus necklace, the one that doesn't come from the sea
A green cactus with white dots on a brick-red strand — the only strand that isn't navy blue. It's the piece that deliberately breaks the set, and the one that pairs best with warm tones, natural linen or sun-tanned skin.
If you're still hesitating
Ask yourself a single question: do you want the necklace to be noticed straight away, or to be discovered? The crabs for the first answer, the shrimp for the second, the octopus if you'd rather not choose. The cactus doesn't answer that question — it answers the one about colour.
