The coelacanth was known only from fossils for a century, written off as extinct, until one turned up in a South African fishing net in 1938. It has been a symbol of survival against the odds ever since. This makes an unusual gift for a marine biologist, a diver, a natural history obsessive, or anyone who already knows the story and will be delighted someone found them a necklace of it. The pendant is 925 sterling silver, with textured scales, lobed fins and a fanned tail. It arrives in our suede gift pouch, ready to give.
Please choose your finish and chain length at checkout.
Finish options: Sterling Silver, a bright polished finish across the raised surfaces with the scale and fin texture left crisp, which gives the fish real depth. Gold, 18ct gold plated over 925 sterling silver, for a warmer tone that suits gold jewellery already in the collection.
Chain length options: 14 inches, sits high on the neck, best suited to children and petite frames. 16 inches, sits at the base of the neck, a classic choker length. 18 inches, our most popular length, sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20 inches, sits on the chest, ideal for layering or wearing over knitwear. 22 inches, a longer drop that sits lower on the chest.
This pendant sits horizontally and is wider than it is tall, so 18 inches or above gives it room to lie flat and be seen in full. The design is unisex and 20 or 22 inches suits a wider frame well.
Every order arrives in a Potiega suede gift pouch as standard. If you would like it presented in our white gift box with a gift card, please tick the gift box option at checkout for a small additional charge.
