These delicate light green translucent jade fish have been made into a pair of earrings by framing them on the back and adding a french clip(post with clip to keep them firmly on the ear). The fish measure 1” long by 3/4” wide so they make quite a statement.

The fish is symbolic of abundance, prosperity, wealth and persistence. It is also believed to represent an advantage in business. A pair of fish symbolizes a happy marriage.
