Hi, people. I'm selling some old charms. This silver fish (NOT a SILVERFISH! LOL) has scales that are sort of jointed and make the fish move in a slithery way.
I'm hopeless. Too late to think of the right words. I know there's a word for it.

It's articulated. I bought a bunch of these in cloisonne at the World Shop and used them to decorate packages at Christmas time. My brothers love to fish and they were thrilled with the decoration! Is it real silver? If so, is the gem in its eye a Garnet? I love it! Should do pretty well.

Thanks, everybody! Gosh, some of you were up late. Toasted, thanks for doing all that research.
And, tadaaaa, the word I was looking for is indeed "articulated." Buried deep in my brain, too deep to retrieve. I'd heard it used on TV collectibles shows, usually about an animal that sits on a shelf or such.
I like the other words, too, and will work some of them into the description. I'm selling two groups of three charms, various types, starting Thursday evening. If any of you have experience with selling these, I'd love your comments pro or con. I have about 15 more to sell, and then I'll get to the charm bracelet itself, lol.
