The proportions on this angelfish are exactly right — the tall dorsal fin sweeping back, the rounded body, the small pursed mouth, and those deep oxidized stripes running the length of the body that give it real dimension against the high polish surface. At nearly 3 inches tall this wears as a centerpiece pin, not an accent.
Mexico 925 sterling, 14 grams of solid silver. The construction is substantial and the casting is clean with no soft edges or lost detail. A piece this size in this condition with this kind of naturalistic accuracy does not come along constantly.
Angelfish are a perennial favorite in ocean and mermaid life jewelry, and a sterling example at this scale sits at the top of that category.
Condition: Estate excellent. Pin mechanism works smoothly and closes securely. Natural sterling patina in the recessed stripes, high polish on the body surfaces.
