In the game, the scale appears to be on a shorter cord, like a charm Link could tie to his belt, but I chose to make a necklace out of it. It could be made in any size, however. It might even look cute as a cell phone charm or a pair of earrings.

I'm afraid the coral pieces I made for this aren't very delicate,
I haven't quite got the right shape yet. They really need to be thinner and more branchy.
