Vintage 1960s Yellow Gold & Emerald Articulating Fish Charm, Pendant

About This Charm:

A charming piece circa 1960s, this articulating fish pendant captures the warmth of vibrant yellow gold and emerald eyes. The bright, lustrous gold brings this little treasure to life, a delightful addition to any collection or a meaningful gift with history.

Condition:

This charm shows its age gracefully as a fair vintage piece. The emeralds display heavy abrasion, though this isn't readily visible to the eye given their size. One emerald has two missing prongs, but the stone remains secure within the setting. There's a small hole on one side of the body that's not easily noticed, along with light surface scratches consistent with vintage wear.
