DESCRIPTION
Whimsical and wonderfully dimensional, these 1970s koi fish earrings feature richly colored blue enamel across articulated, overlapping sections that allow the fish to move gracefully when worn. Detailed scales and fins give each earring a sculptural quality, while the articulated construction creates playful movement and shimmer.
Fish motifs have appeared in jewelry for centuries, with koi particularly associated in Japanese and East Asian traditions with perseverance, strength, prosperity, and good fortune. Articulated jewelry enjoyed renewed popularity during the 1970s, when designers embraced movement, global influences, and unusual figural forms.
Colorful and full of personality, these blue enamel articulated koi earrings combine symbolic imagery with clever construction—a distinctive and wonderfully collectible example of 1970s novelty jewelry.
