This vintage fish pendant is such a wonderful piece to collect, or gift. The idea of fish as good luck exists in many cultures but most likely has its origins in China, where thecharacter for fish (yu 鱼) is pronounced the same as the Chinese character for surplus (yu 余), thus the connection between fish and prosperity. Also, Pisces friends, this little fish is especially perfect for you! The figural fish is beautifully articulated, so the body moves— almost like magic! I love that he has a red stone for his eye. The color of the metal is very iridescent, with tones of both gold and silver, so it works on a chain of any tone, and is easy to mix with other jewelry. Measures 34 mm total with bales; the actual fish is 27 mm long. The pendant is sold individually, or a chain can be added if you need one. The Vintage 14k Gold Jade Fish Pendant and Vintage Sterling Silver Bird Choker pictured are also available.
Great vintage condition, with natural variations in the metal tone, all of which contribute to its unique beauty. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please email shop@verybreezy.com for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final.
