ANTIQUE CHINESE GOLD GILT SOLID SILVER FiILIGREE ARTICULATED FISH PENDANT LUCKY
Item History & Price
Beautiful and unique, antique piece of jewelry. This lovely fish pendant is 3.5" long and is the perfect birthday or anytime present for someone special...or just spoiling yourself! This articulating wiggle fish is 16 grams of gold dipped solid silver. It is marked inside of the mouth, which opens to reveal a hidden compartment. I was told that you put your favorite scented oil or perfume on a piece of silk, put it inside the mouth, then walk around smelling delicio...us all day! The eyes are solid turquoise stones. This is truly a lovely piece and one of my personal favorites. This piece is in great condition with all parts moving and in place. I am finding similar pieces for more than twice the price online, and they don't have the delicacy of work or beautiful patina/color that this beauty has. Please look at all pictures to see the lovely color variations. I'm always on the lookout for these antique fish and only sell the most beautiful ones I find. The workmanship is truly exquisite. All scales are in place and moving (which is very rare in pieces this old and dainty) creating a fun swimming motion. I have made no attempt to clean this item as I love the natural color variations, but it is up to you if you want to shine it up. This is a hand made, one of a kind item. No two fish are alike, and you'll probably end up finding an excuse to buy more than one, like I did 😁. I know you'll love it as soon as it's in your hand. Feels like your holding a little wiggly, beautiful lucky goldfish! Happy shopping.
