Information Madness

Fashion designer always comes up with odd and bizarre ideas for their next product. Meet Mr. Laksh Pahuja, a jewellery designer who has created a live fish necklace that includes 18K gold, diamonds, rubies, Tahiti pearls and acrylic to mimic the sand and coral of Lakshadweep Islands.

The necklace costs Rs 25 lakh and there is only one piece available. It took four years to conceptualise and three to craft, the inspiration to make this oddity came to Laksh when he was on a deep sea diving trip at Lakshadweep Islands

“There is no way I can make another one. It was too much effort. In fact, I want to enter this piece in the Guinness Book of World Records,” says an optimistic Laksh.

Live Fish Necklace uses fighter fish that can safely swim in the necklace for 48 hours without oxygen. It has two air vents into the sides of the necklace.

Once you are done wearing the necklace the fish can be released from the back compartment of the necklace into a normal aquarium.

But this doesn't stop PETA to fired off letters to stop Pahuja from using a fish as a living decoration in a displayed necklace during IIJW (India International Jewellery Week).

Now, PETA has learned that Pahuja sent an e-mail to IIJW organisers stating that he will not display the cruel necklace design during the event this week.
