I found these wonderful pair of matching jade fish and have made them into drop earrings. They drop 1 3/4 inches from an 18 karat gold vermeil post. These are one-of-a-kind earrings that will just noticed. The features are well defined and it is a beautiful color of green Jade. The fish have red eyes which makes them show off very well. These earrings are really fun to wear.
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.
