The mouth on this one actually opens bottles, this isn't just a fish shaped pendant. Layered abalone shell scale segments run down the spine in a silver tone metal frame, riveted at each seam, the kind of vintage barware and jewelry crossover piece that showed up at plenty of 1970s bar carts. Family history on this one goes back to the early 1970s, when it was purchased and, as the story was told at the time, believed to be silver.
Despite the segmented look that usually signals a moving, articulated fish in this style, this one holds solid and fixed front to back, sturdy with real weight rather than delicate. It comes fitted with a new sterling silver chain, so it goes from your neck to the bottle cap without missing a step.
