This necklace is large and gaudy. It is a bright silver metal. The fins and eye are hinged on to the 2. 5 inch fishes body, which is a geometric open work. He dangles very freely making this an animated piece! The entire pendant measures almost 4 inches. The light weight cable chain is 22 inches long. The fold over box clasp is original to the necklace and works well.

There are no marks or manufacturer name on this piece.

NecromanceNola sells this type of vintage necklace often since it was well made, usually plated multiple times and had unique design. The bright gold tone plating is still in excellent condition.

This metal necklace is circa 1965 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time. The first half of the 20th century was the heyday for well made costume jewelry sold from fine department stores to Woolworth, usually made in Europe or the United States, although this one may be an Avon necklace. The manufacture and quality of costume jewelry deteriorated in the latter part of the century making this era the last with enduring products.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Www.Etsy.Com/Shop/Necromancenola.
