The story: In the art of jewelry, starfish-shaped charms are part of a long tradition where the symbols of the sea are worn as talismans. Present in Mediterranean, island and maritime cultures, the starfish evokes protection, resilience and renewal. A creature capable of regenerating and being reborn, it embodies the gentle force of nature and the idea that we can always recompose ourselves after the tides of life. In many coastal regions, these small charms were offered as good luck charms to travellers, fishermen or lovers of the marine horizons. Worn as a pendant or on a bracelet, the starfish is not only decorative: it transmits the memory of the shores, the salty wind, the moving light on the water — like an intimate presence of the sea, discreet but deeply symbolic.
