In many traditions, the fish is associated with good luck and
protection. In China in particular, it is a symbol of wealth
and abundance. The articulated form, which first appeared in Western jewellery
during the Victorian era, adds to this symbolism the idea
of movement and vitality: the moving segments give the
fish the illusion of swimming and thus seem to breathe life into it.
