This piece is made to order, just for you, making it final sale. Please allow up to 8 weeks for us to create and ship.
This piece comes with a complimentary solder to the Mociun chain of your choice; otherwise if you choose to receive your jump ring opened for easier addition to a chain of your own, we do recommend having it professionally closed to avoid loss.
Enamel requires special care to preserve. Avoid contact with extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals that may damage the finish. Wear on bracelets is not recommended. Take extra care when using the kinetic parts of the charm — these mechanisms are small and require delicate engagement.

The Myriorama Collection is named after a 19th-century game in which illustrated cards are laid next to one another to complete a scene, no matter the sequence. Arranging and rearranging parts to make a different ‘whole’ is the appeal of Myriorama, and so too of a charm collection. Mix them, move them, make something new.

Item Details
A carved quartz rock crystal 'jelly' rests on top of its hand-enameled white gold dome. Inside the body, a miniature (invisible) mobile mechanism articulates its oral arms imitating the ethereal float of a jellyfish. Wispy tentacles around the edge are made of snake chain. For a 'bioluminescent' effect, white details are treated with phosphorescent pigments. With enough exposure to UV light, they’ll glow in the dark. From dome to tail, the charm is about the length of 2.5 M&Ms stacked on top of one another.
Articulation: A micro mobile articulates the oral arms, mimicking the float of a jellyfish.
Gemstone: Carved rock quartz crystal dome.
Composition: Solid 14k white gold elements hand-painted with enamel, including glow-in-the-dark accents. Stinging tentacles are made of snake chain.
Size: 32mm long and 14mm wide.
Wear: It comes with a 14k yellow gold jump ring at the top.
On The Design Story
This design was inspired by the “mauve stinger” (Pelagia noctiluca), a bioluminescent jelly native to warm and tropical waters known for its painful sting. It’s a colorful species on the smaller side with a bell that measures 3 to 5 inches in diameter. It was important for the jelly to feel as realistic as possible. Look through the ‘jelly’ rock crystal and experience the painted details with a magnified effect. The oral arms took many iterations before Caitlin felt they captured the essence of a jellyfish.
All Myriorama charms were designed at Mociun HQ and meticulously produced in New York City’s diamond district. Charms with enamel are hand-painted and finished underneath a microscope using a single-hair brush. No stencils, no machine printing, just pure artistry by way of a steady hand.
Symbolism
The jellyfish teaches us that softness does not mean weakness — on the contrary, tender and vulnerable bodies often harbor hidden strength.
About Myriorama
‘Myriorama’ is a set of illustrated cards with the same horizon line that became popular in the nineteenth century. The cards can be shuffled in any order, laid next to one another, and make a coherent picture no matter the sequence. Arranging and rearranging is the appeal of Myriorama, and so too of any kind of collector.

Metals
Overview
Gold is most coveted for its aesthetic qualities and malleability. Its purity is measured in karats: one karat represents 1/24 of the whole, so 24k means 100% pure, naturally yellow gold. 24k gold is too soft for everyday wear, so for our jewelry, we recommend platinum and 14k or 18k gold, which is pure gold mixed with other metals, creating a stronger, more durable alloy. We love working with richly-colored 22k gold for jewelry that does not contain any stones.
We are happy to discuss requests for any desired materials in addition to the metals listed here.
Collapsible content
Yellow Gold
Made of pure gold and alloy metals like copper and zinc, yellow gold is hypoallergenic and easy to maintain. We love using yellow gold with all gemstones and diamonds.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is made of pure gold alloyed with copper, which gives it its reddish tint (perfect for warm-colored and pink gemstones or diamonds) and adds durability. It is not a hypoallergenic metal.
White gold
White gold is an alloy of pure gold and white metals such as nickel, silver and palladium. This metal pairs best with cool-colored gems, as well as colorless to near-colorless diamonds. It is not a hypoallergenic metal and generally not recommended if you have a nickel sensitivity. Unless requested, we do not rhodium-plate our white gold to honor its naturally yellow undertones.
Platinum
First popularized with Edwardian engagement rings, the rare and extremely durable platinum comes at a higher cost than gold. Platinum has cool, blue undertones and is a pure element. This hypoallergenic metal can be used over white gold for those with nickel sensitivity.
