View Sailfish Fish Brooch Marlin White Enamel Blue Rhinestone Nautical Vintage with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The crisp white coloring and dramatic silhouette make it particularly striking against navy, black, denim, or other contrasting fabrics. Sailfish and marlin jewelry has fantastic nautical and coastal appeal. This striking figural sailfish or marlin brooch has wonderful dimensional character, with its elongated pointed bill, gracefully curved body, forked tail, and elaborate openwork dorsal sail. Although only approximately 2 inches, the exaggerated sail gives the brooch impressive visual presence. Finished in creamy white enamel, the fish combines smooth sculptural areas with an intricate open latticework sail. Raised textured detailing creates additional dimension throughout the sail, while a single faceted aqua blue rhinestone forms the eye and adds a sparkling ocean-colored accent. The reverse reveals the openwork construction along with a long pin stem and safety clasp. The stylized figural design, enamel finish, construction, and hardware are consistent with costume jewelry from approximately the 1960s to 1970s. The piece is unsigned, so the maker cannot be confirmed. Whether described as a sailfish or marlin, this is an unusual piece of nautical figural jewelry. The crisp white coloring and dramatic silhouette make it particularly striking against navy, black, denim, or other contrasting fabrics. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It The dramatic openwork sail makes this fish instantly recognizable. A sparkling aqua blue rhinestone eye adds the perfect ocean-inspired accent. The creamy white enamel creates a striking graphic silhouette. Its dimensional construction gives the fish a wonderful sense of movement.
