Butler & Wilson Fish Choker, Double Strand with Iridescent Rainbow Cabochons, Original Box – Vintage 1980s Statement

A spectacular statement necklace by Butler & Wilson, the legendary London jewelry house – from the 1980s, in its original pink gift box.

Design

Two strands carry a whole school of gold-tone fish with textured surfaces, set with iridescent glass cabochons that shimmer in rainbow colors depending on the light. A piece that captures the playful glamour of the eighties – nautical, bold and unmistakable.

At the flea market in Waidhofen an der Thaya the pink box glowed between grey toolboxes – and inside swam a whole school of fish.
