Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiac Pendant in Pisces Design with Malachite and Diamond

Dating from the 1970s, this Pisces pendant by Van Cleef & Arpels is composed of 18K gold, diamond, and emeralds. The ribbed bail suspends a circular pendant, within ropetwist frame, depicting a pair of fish in high relief textured 18K gold, with emerald eyes, encircling a starfish centering a diamond, atop of tablet of malachite with patterning resembling swirling sea water, the reverse with two conforming starfish. Playful and fun, this astrological pendant represents the freedom and spiritual curiosity of the 1970s, combined with the contemporary passion for chunky gold and rich color.
