Assorted Gemstone and Pearl Pendants

This collection features two distinct pendants, likely intended for use with a necklace or bracelet, displayed within a dark green, fabric-lined jewelry box or display. The first pendant, a circular piece, showcases a prominent, smooth, cabochon-cut gemstone in a vibrant, opaque lavender or light purple hue, centrally set within a wider, translucent, pale grey or colorless outer ring. This entire circular setting appears to be encased or bordered by what seems to be gold-toned metal, with a small bail loop at the top for attachment, through which a light brown or tan string and a price tag are threaded. The price tag indicates a base price of '2.10' with 'Tax .21' for a total of '$2.31', suggesting an older retail context. The second pendant is a single, lustrous, near-round pearl, exhibiting a creamy white base color with visible overtones of pink and green iridescence, characteristic of genuine pearls. This pearl is capped with a decorative, gold-toned metal element, meticulously adorned with several small, clear, faceted gemstones, possibly diamonds or cubic zirconia, set closely together to create a sparkling 'crown' effect. A simple loop or bail is integrated into the top of this cap for suspension. Both pendants appear to be in good overall condition, with the pearl showing excellent nacre quality and the circular pendant free from obvious chips or cracks in the gemstones. The gold-toned settings do not exhibit significant tarnish or wear, indicating careful handling or relatively good preservation. The combination of materials and craftsmanship, particularly the detailed setting on the pearl, suggests these are fine jewelry items, possibly from the mid to late 20th century.
