About the Item

Whimsical and artfully detailed, this vintage pendant features a hand-carved orange agate angelfish swimming across a serene jade sea. Set in 14K yellow gold, it’s a rare collectible that captures the beauty and playfulness of the ocean in wearable form. A celebration of fine craftsmanship and imagination, this vintage pendant showcases a beautifully carved orange agate angelfish gliding through a circular “sea” of luminous jade. The fish’s natural color gradations create organic striping, enhanced by 14K yellow gold prongs and playful “bubbles” that rise from its mouth in sculpted gold. The jade disc forms a soft green backdrop with subtle translucence, perfectly framing the angelfish in motion. Each element, from the texture of the carving to the gentle polish of the jadeite, reflects expert artistry and meticulous attention to detail. This is more than jewelry; it’s a miniature underwater tableau rendered in stone and gold. A statement piece for collectors who appreciate vintage design, marine-inspired art, and the rare harmony of color and form. Details: • Materials: 14K yellow gold, jadeite, carved orange agate • Measurements: Pendant approx. 49.9 mm diameter; fish approx. 22 × 23 mm • Weight: 26.7 grams (total) • Appraised Value: $1,430 • Condition: Excellent vintage condition; no chips or cracks observed • Era: Vintage (mid-to-late 20th century) • Origin: Likely crafted in Asia; gold tested and confirmed 14K This pendant is ideal for display or wear and would pair beautifully with a gold omega chain or fine cable link necklace. A standout piece for any curated jewelry collection or lover of whimsical vintage design. Style Notes Similar Pieces: This pendant bridges fine craftsmanship and playful imagination, making it a standout within the world of vintage gemstone jewelry. Collectors of mid-century jadeite, carved hardstone, or figural sea-life motifs will appreciate its sculptural quality and the creative use of natural color in the agate carving. For those drawn to whimsical design and organic materials, consider pairing this piece with other Asian-inspired or ocean-themed jewelry, such as carved coral pendants, abalone and pearl creations, or Art Deco fish and shell designs in gold and platinum. Its generous scale and vivid palette allow it to layer beautifully with yellow gold chains or statement chokers for a bold modern look. This pendant resonates with collectors who value both artistry and narrative—ideal for anyone curating a collection that celebrates nature’s forms through fine jewelry.
