.04 Vintage Garnet Koi Fish Charm 14k Yellow Gold

This mid-century 14 karat yellow koi fish charm features an articulated design that allows it to move and bend like a real fish. The body measures 1.5 inches long and has dimensional scales and fins that give it a realistic, three-dimensional quality. Two round garnet eyes, each weighing .02 carat, add deep red color to the piece.

The articulation means the different segments are connected with small hinges or jump rings, so the charm has movement and flexibility rather than being rigid. At 1.5 inches, this is a substantial charm with enough size to be a focal point on either a bracelet or necklace. The yellow gold has developed the patina typical of mid-century pieces.
