Did You Know?

Cephalopods have blue-colored blood.
A gold and enamel necklace features a woven chain at the center of which hangs an octopus-shaped pendant. The chain connects with a textured cylindrical clasp. The pendant depicts a cephalopod with a rounded head decorated with green, yellow, and red enamel patterns. From its base, textured golden tentacles curl outward. Two extend toward the chain, while others overlap below, their surfaces covered with small gold spheres.
