A fish, its body finely stippled to a soft matte against polished fins, with a single clear zirconia set for its eye. A small coin disc beside it, raised rim, a four-point star pressed into the centre. And along one shoulder a scatter of raised bubbles in graduating sizes, as though rising through water.

Set a coin next to it and the wish stops being a pun and becomes a statement. The bubbles put the whole thing underwater.

It is also softer, which is exactly what an adjustable band wants: it eases open and closed to find your fit where a harder alloy springs back. Adjust it gently and rarely, and keep it clear of hard knocks. Being almost entirely silver, it contains no nickel at all.

It is a clear \u003cstrong\u003ecubic zirconia\u003c\/strong\u003e, set into the metal as the fish’s eye.

What does the fish actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurplus — having more than you need. It rests on a homophone: the word for fish and the word for surplus are both \u003cem\u003eyú\u003c\/em\u003e, so a fish became the polite way to wish someone abundance without saying it outright. The coin makes the same wish in plainer terms.

What is 足銀 999, and is it better than 925?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is fine silver — 99.9% pure, against 92.5% for sterling — and it costs more per gram, not less. It is purer, whiter and brighter. It is also softer, which for an adjustable band is an advantage: it eases to your finger instead of springing back. Neither is “better” outright; they are different trade-offs.

How do I find my size, and how does an adjustable band work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band is left open at the back, so it flexes across the range in the table rather than locking to one size. Ease it open or closed a little at a time, holding it near the opening rather than over the fish or the coin.

How do I clean a matte, textured ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA soft dry cloth for the polished band and a soft dry brush for the stippled fish and the bubbles. Skip silver dips and ultrasonic cleaners entirely — a dip flattens the contrast between matte and polished that this design depends on, and neither is kind to a set stone.
