Manta Ray necklace. Made from highly polished, tarnish resistant silver, hung on a solid silver chain. © Adrian Ashley

Among the largest fish in the ocean, with a wingspans of up to 7 metres and weights exceeding two tonnes, mantas are harmless filter feeders.

Although long lived and highly intelligent, mantas are horribly threatened by overfishing. Fortunately, keeping them alive for tourism is far more lucrative for local economies, and swimming or diving with manta rays, is now the highlight of many peoples’ tropical holiday.

Wearing a piece of Adrian Ashley’s jewellery identifies you as someone who loves the ocean or the great outdoors. My silver jewellery is made from solid Sterling Silver (silver with a purity of at least 92.5%). It does not contain any lead or other harmful materials.

I do my best to insure all the materials I use have been sourced responsibly and I always price my work honestly.
