Axolotls are having a moment—and it’s easy to see why. With their frilly gills, permanent smile, and magical regenerative powers, these aquatic salamanders have become icons of cuteness and curiosity. At Anna Reikher Jewelry, we’ve transformed their charm into a handcrafted jewelry collection that celebrates love, individuality, and playful elegance.
What Is an Axolotl?
The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), often called the “Mexican walking fish,” is actually an amphibian—not a fish at all. Native to the lakes of Mexico City, axolotls are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, retain juvenile features throughout life (a trait called neoteny), and live entirely underwater.
