Precious Fish Natural Rainbow Abalone Ruby 14K Gold over .925 Sterling Silver handmade Pendant Brooch

This Rainbow Abalone pendant sterling silver piece takes the form of a detailed fish, measuring 2 inches long by 1 5/8 inches wide. A genuine ruby gemstone marks the eye. The 14K gold overlay adds warm contrast to the cool blue-green shell.

Rainbow Abalone comes from the inner shell of the Haliotis iris mollusk, found along Pacific coastlines. The material rates 2.5-3 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it best suited for pendants and brooches rather than rings. Each shell displays unique patterns of blue, green, and turquoise with natural opalescent layers. This piece weighs 11.20 grams of solid .925 sterling silver with textured metalwork framing the shell inlays. Thickness measures 1/4 inch.

The dual pin-and-bail design lets you wear this as a pendant on your favorite chain or pin it directly to a lapel, scarf, or hat. Part of our Agra Collection. SilverRush Style has sold natural-stone jewelry since 2005. Ships free within the US.
