This is another charm that you'll find reaches epic proportions on eBay, alongside the mermaid. Why? Quite possibly because, until recently, not many aquatic creature charms had been produced.

I really do love this little guy, though I've never understood why Juicy opted to color him with black enamel instead of something a little more festive, or even white. The black doesn't really seem to flow with the light green and airy crystals, but that could be just me. While his belly and part of his tail are jade-colored, don't mistake it for anything more than lightweight plastic, and don't be fooled by any auction description that tries to convince you otherwise.

The crystals on the seahorse's body are the most immaculate details of all on the entire piece, Not only do they wrap around in rings on the tail, but the head was fashioned in such a way that it almost looks like a small crown sits up there. The shape of the nose and cheeks are spot-on, in regards to a real seahorse.

I really have no complaints about this charm, apart from the black enamel detail. I desperately hope that Juicy revisits this charm and (fingers crossed!) puts out a leafy sea dragon version. If you've never seen one I highly recommend Googling the endangered species - it is one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen in real life.
