Botanical Leaves Pendant Appraisal

Blue Chalcedony and Cubic Zirconia Botanical Leaves Pendant

This pendant features a prominent, circular cabochon of translucent blue chalcedony with a soft, misty lavender tint. The stone is set in a white gold or silver-toned metal mounting and exhibits a high-closs finish and an even distribution of color. Ornate organic metalwork in the form of stylized vine stems and leaves is overlaid onto the front of the gemstone, secured by small prongs at the edges. These leaf accents are pavé-set with small, round-cut colorless stones, likely cubic zirconia or small diamonds, which add a brilliant contrast to the matte glow of the chalcedony. The bale is similarly decorated with a matching botanical motif and small accent stones. The construction is contemporary, showcasing a modern nature-inspired aesthetic typical of late 20th to early 21st-century fashion jewelry. The piece appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips or surface abrasions on the primary gemstone. There is a gentle patina on the metal undersides, and the stones appear securely seated. The item lacks visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front, suggesting any identifying stamps would be located on the reverse or the inner loop of the bale.
