Gold-Tone Bezel-Set Solitaire Pendant Necklace

This item is a necklace featuring a solitary, round, colorless gemstone set within a gold-tone bezel and suspended from a gold-tone chain. The chain appears to be a wheat or spiga chain, characterized by its intricately woven links that give it a braided texture and a relatively robust appearance. The material of the chain and bezel setting is a bright yellow metal, consistent with gold or a gold-plated alloy; without closer inspection or hallmarks, its precise composition (e.g., karat gold, gold-filled, or plated base metal) cannot be definitively determined, though the color suggests higher quality. The diamond-like centerpiece is round brilliant cut, exhibiting good brilliance and dispersion as evidenced by the light reflections within it, suggesting it could be a diamond, cubic zirconia, or a high-quality simulated gemstone. The bezel setting fully encircles the gemstone, providing a secure mount and a smooth, modern aesthetic. There are no visible markings or signatures discernible from the image to indicate a specific manufacturer or designer. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, tarnish, or excessive wear on either the chain or the pendant. The style is classic and minimalist, making it a versatile piece suitable for various occasions. It likely dates from the late 20th century to the present, given the timeless design.
