Description

The listing, 2 Silver Tone Metal Fish with Scales Fishing Koi Carp Charms Crafts Jewelry Scrapbooking has ended.

Charming little Koi fish. Koi are meant to bring good luck, but certain Koi have different meanings, or are better luck, or bring luck to the pond. Much depends on their coloring. A beautiful Japanese symbolism of the koi represents perserverance in adversity and strength of purpose. The strongest Koi swims upstream until it reaches the final waterfall, where it vaults into the mists and becomes a water dragon. Based on that legend, it became a symbol of worldly aspiration and advancement. It is said that the fish probably originates out of Persia (now Iran). Wild carp are called "koi" in Japanese. The term "koi" was later applied to all carp both wild and colored. The Japanese have a special word for wild carp called "Magoi." Colored and inbred Magoi are called Koi. The Koi that have been bred for color are called "Nishikigoi". Many Japanese use the word Koi to refer to wild carp. Gonna get 2 charms. Open back metal charms. Great for a pair of earrings or two necklaces. Or make into good luck fish charms to put on a bobber, key chain, whatever. Also great for scrap-booking.

Free shipping.

I'd call them Koi Fish instead of Carp! These are gorgeous! ♥

You are right. But Koi also means carp in Japanese. I brought that part out now that you reminded of it. Thanks!
