Necklace, Fish, Filagreed Sterling

From http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_symb.htm:
The symbol [of the fish] was simple to draw and was often used among Christians as a type of password during times of persecution by the Roman government. If two strangers met and were unsure whether each other was a Christian, one would draw an arc in the earth like:). If the other were a Christian, they would complete the symbol with a reverse arc: (), forming the outline of a fish.
