In nearly every culture that ever lived beside water, a fish means luck on its way!
This one is carved from pink opal, soft and banded like the inside of a shell, and it floats gently on a hand strung line of faceted blue topaz that catches light the way tropical water does. The pink against the blue is a beautiful contrast where each compliments the other. Wear this beautiful piece with or without the fish or add a charm of your own.
The sailor clasp is meant to be worn at the front, where it reads as jewelry rather than hardware. The fish hangs from the clasp ring, so you can lift it off and wear the topaz strand entirely on its own.

Pink opal is associated with gentleness and quiet renewal. Blue topaz is the December birthstone, long associated with steady calm and clear speech.
