Handcrafted Sterling Silver Jesus Fish Pendant | Regul Silver

A fish drawn in silver, and inside its body a single word — this sterling silver Jesus pendant carries its faith where everyone can read it: the letters J-E-S-U-S are cut clean through the fish, so the word itself forms the body, the oldest sign of faith there is, finished in bright sterling silver.

The piece is handcrafted for Regul Silver, our own line here in Fort Worth. Work like this starts as a flat sheet of sterling silver: the fish outline is drawn, the body is pierced and cut away letter by letter until JESUS reads across it, and then the edges are filed smooth by hand so the openwork catches light instead of skin or cloth. The pendant hangs from a clean polished bail on its chain, and nothing about it is cast in a hurry — the cut lines, the eye, and the forked tail all had to be opened one at a time.

Set it beside the other faith pieces people ask us for and its difference is plain. A cross pendant says the word with a shape alone. A bar necklace carries a word stamped on the surface, where it can wear thin. This pendant does something neither does: the word is not on the fish, the word is the fish — cut all the way through the silver, so it reads from across a room and never rubs away.

Worn, it rests light at the collarbone on its 18-inch chain — seven grams in all, so it moves when you move and settles flat against a shirt, a dress, or bare skin. It is the piece women here reach for on Sunday morning and then keep on through the week: quiet at a distance, and up close it starts the conversation all by itself.

Here are its facts, exactly as its record carries them: .925 sterling silver, handcrafted; the fish-shaped pendant weighs 4 grams and the delicate chain weighs 3 grams; the chain measures 18 inches and comes with the pendant, as every pendant on this shelf does. The style on its record reads faith based, and the piece is ours — Regul Silver, Fort Worth.

Silver asks for gentle care: wipe the pendant with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store it dry, away from perfume and sprays, and its bright finish will hold. Its one honest truth deserves plain words — sterling silver slowly softens in shine with wear and air, and the pendant carries the fine marks of hand cutting in its openwork; a polishing cloth brings the brightness back in a minute, and those hand marks are the sign the letters were cut by a person, not stamped by a press.
