An early 20th century 18ct gold fish pendant/charm, with ‘dog-tooth’ pearl body and ruby eye, the reverse beautifully engraved with scales.
Fish are symbols of fertility and rebirth, good fortune, change and health. They are commonly associated with the water element, which is itself a duality of tranquillity and balance versus surging, overwhelming force.
Fish are guides through duality, leading you through difficult questions. Seeing a fish is a good guide to trust your instincts, you are on the right path.

Circa 1900-1910.
Length:
(from mouth to tail) 3cms.
Pearl untested for natural origin.
Condition:
General light wear. The tail fin is slightly bent back.

Our primary concern is that you are pleased with your purchase. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like about a product before clicking purchase. We appreciate patina and the ‘age’ that older pieces acquire, because of this we do not polish pieces to strip away the age (though your local jeweller may be willing to do this for you for a small fee). Secondhand, vintage and antique pieces will naturally show scratches and small marks, these will often appear more noticeable in the enlarged images that we have made available for you. Our images are as realistic as they can be. Although any appreciable defects/damages will be mentioned please do inspect the images as they do form a part of the condition report.
Antique items may longer not be suitable for everyday wear or may benefit from thoughtful consideration when worn with care.
