Vintage Articulated Fish Pendant with Chain

About the Item

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 the character 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. Comes with Sterling Silver Chain! * The Vintage 14k Gold Jade Fish Pendant and Vintage Sterling Silver Bird Choker pictured are also available in my shop. Please inquire. 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 send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. Please note this is costume jewelry and not of precious metals or stones. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! Same-day or next-day delivery (or pickup) is in most cases available in the NYC area. @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals

Mid-20th Century Pendant Necklaces

Vintage 18k Gold Carved Shell Cameo Pendant
Located in New York, NY
There is something so magical to me about vintage and antique cameos: the way the portraits are rendered in such incredible detail seems to tell a person's mystery. This cameo is carved from genuine shell with such impressive precision, and it's set in solid 18k gold. It is both a pendant, and a brooch; the pin back is not visible when it's worn as a pendant, and I love the way the bail dangles down and disappears when it's worn as brooch, making it truly two pieces in one. It was likely made in the 1930s, but it's also possible that the cameo itself was made even earlier, and the brooch fastener was later added around the 1930s or 1940s. This cameo depicts a Spanish woman, wearing a mantilla comb...
