These Swarovski Crystal animal figures are just amazing!  Some are pendant drilled, which means that a pendant finding can be glued into the back or top of each figure so that when hung on a cord or necklace, the figure will be oriented upright.  Some of them are designed to stand alone on a shelf.  This FISH figure may be used either as a pendant or as a display item.  To use as a pendant, the fin on top is smooth on the back side and one would glue a pendant finding to it.  Or, to use as a display, the fin becomes part of the stand.   These were made by Swarovski in the 1960’s.  There are at least 10 variations in my collection which will be listed.
