Great necklace!

Carp symbolizes plenty or abundant children, wealth and success. In Chinese, carp, strength, power and profit are pronounced the same. Money symbol on the bells. The origin and meaning of the pendant bells escapes me at the moment.

Turquoise enamel often used in combination with dark blue and purple enamel. It's a piece of Chinese export jewelry dating to the first quarter of the 20th century.
