Vintage Mid-Century Koy Fish Pendant 14k Yellow Gold

This Mid-Century articulated koy fish pendant hangs from a 14 karat yellow gold chain and measures 1.75 inches long. The fish moves on its own, giving the piece a playful quality when you wear it. Two round garnets, each 2.0 mm (.06 total carats), are set as the fish's eyes and add deep red color to the design. The yellow gold has developed the patina you'd expect from a piece made in the 1940s-1960s.

The articulated construction means the fish has movement, which catches light differently as you move. It's substantial enough to be noticed but not so large that it feels heavy around your neck.
