That 2nd two-tone would look great by itself on a leather necklace, which is on trend right now.

✨💖Hi Melinda 🌸 Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll be on the lookout to add a leather necklace to my collection and give this a go!

✨✨✨ I have 2 of the fish charm, both came to me on bracelets full of oldies. Then you sometimes get repeats, because I would rather buy and be sure I get the bracelet than start negotiations with the seller to not buy some of the charms, and risk someone else getting in there and buy the bracelet before the seller sees my message... I'm sure mine are legit because of sellers having a mix of items selling off clothes, shoes, decorative items, jewelry. And the old Pandora bracelet with oldies charms sort of fit in with their mix of things... 😉 Both my fish have "wear and tear". On one the stamps are almost not visible. One the other the ALE (the whole letters) is very clear, but the 925 more difficult to read because of wear. Mine have thinner lips, but I don't know if that is because of wear... I googled "Pandora fish charm" and looked at photos, there were both fish with thin lips, and fish with fuller lips, so that was confusing... Size is difficult to estimate when we see something in a video, but the fish is a small charm, like most oldies... The first thing I though when I saw your fish was : that one looks brand new, but of course, if someone just put their bracelet in a drawer and never used it, it would look new however old it is... So it's difficult... 🙃 I'm no expert, I hope someone can tell you with certainty if it's legit or not ! 👍 The rest of the haul was good though. I have 2 of those blue with dots Muranos on my Alice bangle, love them ! 🤗 ✨✨✨

🌸Hi Britta 💖 The other fish charm I’m trying to get has both hallmarks on the same side of the tail while the charm I have now doesn’t. Please lmk how your hallmarks are branded. TIA 🥰

[@brittascharmsandbeads9057]

​@@michelletrammel3705 The hallmarks on both mine are placed the same way like you show on your fish. So on the tail , ALE on one side of the opening and 925 on the other side of the opening.

Do you buy a lot of your charms on eBay?

@@michelletrammel3705 yeah it’s hard to tell on there for legit charms I usually can tell by how high the price is…. As long as They don’t turn though is a good thing I bought a 100th Simba for like 35 on there there is no way in hell I’m paying over 100 for one charm! Freaking outrageous!
