Black Coral Pendant

There is an old Maldivian story about how tuna first came to the islands.
It speaks of a great mālimi: a navigator; who sailed so far that the sea thinned and the world began to fall away. At the edge of it stood an enderi tree, black coral rising like a living monument through strong currents. At its base, strange striped fish leapt and shimmered. The mālimi understood them as a gift. A chant was whispered, a ritual performed, and the fish followed the boat home, choosing the deep waters of the Maldives as their own.

The Black Coral Pendant draws from this imagery: a coral that stands like a majestic black tree at the end of the ocean, where water rushes past and depth turns infinite.
