I would like to try to sell this fish bracelet but don't know the name of the fish if anybody can identify I Believe it's a mudskipper from what I can tell on the Internet and if you don't mind me asking what kind of price range would you put on it 14 karat 15.6 g

your gold value today is $361.80 so double or triple that as your starting price. Get a nice cotton filled gift box. If this is bought to be a gift that may be a nice selling point.
 

That thing is ugly! It will DEFINITELY sell. Haha. (I love it, btw, don't get me wrong)

$499.99 starting bid. If no bids at 7 days, change listing to Buy It Now Or Best Offer. $595.00 buy it now and you can review offers. Play by ear from there.
 

My guess is that it is Asian in nature and that fish is a stylized version of a koi - which are really just giant goldfish, and carp. Get it - gold fish? I'd put it down as a golden Koi bracelet.
 

What are the marks? Just 14k? Or 585 or is there a hallmark too? 100% koi fish. And u can come down in price. It would start it at $1500 or best offer. Reason being it's for good luck. The fish is sought after by Chinese and there's nothing like it on eBay. If you want to sell it cheap I'll buy it. But if I were you I would start it at least $1200 if not 1500. Buy it now obo. I would. And wouldn't take any less then $800. I think it's worth every bit of that. Rare and ugly sells. Heck there's a brooch up there listed at $850. This is a bracelet.... way more sought after.
 

Definitely looks like a mudskipper. Why it attaches with its own tail to its mouth is beyond me though.

To be honest, I really don't think the piece depicts either a Koi or Mudskipper. All of the pics I have found, show that the Koi and Mudskipper both have two Dorsal Fins versus one continuous Dorsal Fin on the jewelry piece. I started to lean towards the Dolphin Fish but believe that is still not it.

I love that chain link!

Aquatic bracelet... that should cover it.

I don't think its meant to be a certain species...I think its just a fish.
 

Agreed it is not very attractive. Can't quite figure out tail. Weird. Weird sells though!

The design almost reminds me of the heraldic dolphins that are part of the submariner logo.
