Atocha 8 Reale mounted by an 8 Tentacle Octopus | 14K Gold | 3-2.70mm Diamonds | Emerald Eyes | COA included

$2,849.00

An 8 Reale from the Nuestra Senora De Atocha. Certified in September 1986, this is probably one of the few pieces, an Octopus with Eight Tentacles, that will be produced because of the extra weight. The Octopus mounted on this 14k Bezel has been created to show all the Melee Diamonds. Michael wanted to create a piece that just wasn’t a “Bling” piece of Mel Fisher’s Atocha Silver, but a Classy 1622 piece of Pirate’s luxury loot. Much produced like the 6 Tentacle piece, the 8 Tentacle design is still a very popular piece. The 2 Emerald Eyes on the head are mounted to make sure they can keep watch of everything.

Complete with Mel Fisher’s Certificate of Authenticity, the 8 Tentacle Octopus is guaranteed to catch the eye of anyone looking in your direction.
