Arabic Calligraphy Pendant Appraisal

Gold-Toned Tear-Drop Pendant Necklace with Arabic Calligraphy

This item is a gold-toned necklace featuring a tear-drop shaped pendant. The necklace chain is a delicate, slender oval link or cable chain, entirely in a uniform gold hue. The pendant is notably larger than the chain, crafted in a tear-drop or stylized paisley shape, with intricate open-work design in what appears to be Arabic calligraphy. The calligraphy forms a significant portion of the pendant's surface, suggesting a word, phrase, or name, which is cut out from the metal, allowing light to pass through. The overall color of both the chain and pendant is a bright, polished gold tone, indicating either solid gold, gold plating, or a gold-toned base metal. The construction appears to be machine-made given the precision of the calligraphy cutouts, though the overall design has a handcrafted aesthetic. No visible manufacturing marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The item appears to be in good condition, showing no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, maintaining its luster. It likely represents a modern or contemporary style, possibly from the last few decades, and its quality appears standard for commercially produced jewelry. The unique aspect is the prominent Arabic calligraphy, which adds cultural significance and artistic detail.
