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
The Zebra Seahorse Charm is made of solid 14k yellow gold and finished with hand-painted enamel. The white stripes glow in the dark with biofluorescence, in which high-energy blue light is absorbed and re-emitted to appear glowy. Unlike bioluminescence, this process requires an external light source. The charm is about the size of a bottlecap.
Articulation: The dorsal fin moves side to side.
Composition: Solid 14k yellow gold body with hand-painted enamel details.
Size: 9.8mm wide and 22.3mm long.
Wear: It comes with a 14k yellow gold jump ring near the head.
On The Design Story
Our white enamel has a glow-in-the-dark effect, mimicking the natural biofluorescence of zebra seahorses.
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
Many cultures revere the seahorse as a symbol of good luck and protection. Since they’re not particularly good swimmers, they ride the currents of the ocean and have come to represent patience and trusting the right timing.
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.
We are here to support treasure hunters on their search for the rare, the beautiful and the enduring.

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.
