OctopusME! is releasing a line of jewellery made of, you guessed it, octopus. The line uses sushi-grade octopus with solid sterling silver.
Some cultures see the octopus as a symbol of transformation and regeneration. Because of their ability to change color to match their backgrounds, octopus are also known as the Masters of Disguise.
The Octopus tentacles are cast in Sterling Silver and soldered on to the rest of the jewellery. They have been tumble polished for shine and durability and then oxidized to bring out their detail.
