[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9587862, member: 2844"]I agree with Greg, the carving isn't top notch. But it is jade, celadon with a bit of russet colour, which is valued in China. These small carvings on a silk cord were carried for luck, tucked into clothing, or in one's pocket. I forgot the name, there is a specific term for them. They are always on a silk cord, never with gold, not even the quality ones. It isn't jewellery, but a good luck charm for personal use. Yours is probably missing a silk tassle though. A goldfish is associated with gold, so prosperity. A useful symbol to have on your person.;)[/QUOTE]
