Bow Pendant Necklace Appraisal

Silver-Toned Necklace with Pear and Baguette Stone Bow Pendant

The item is a silver-toned necklace featuring a central pendant. The chain appears to be made of a silver-colored metal, possibly sterling silver or a silver-plated base metal, and utilizes an intricate link design, likely a cable chain or similar elongated oval links, which suggests a delicate yet sturdy construction. It exhibits a bright, reflective surface with no obvious signs of tarnish or significant wear, indicating good maintenance or relatively recent acquisition. The pendant itself is the focal point, designed as a bow or ribbon motif. It is adorned with multiple clear, faceted stones. The largest stone is a prominent pear or teardrop cut, set prominently at the center of the bow. Its facets catch and reflect light, suggesting a diamond simulant like cubic zirconia or a lab-created gemstone. Above this central stone, forming the 'loops' of the bow, are two baguette-cut stones, set horizontally or at a slight angle. These baguette stones are elongated and rectangular, offering a different type of sparkle compared to the larger pear-cut stone. The setting for the stones appears to be prong-set, allowing maximal light to enter and exit the stones. The metal setting for the pendant is also silver-toned and shows no visible signs of wear or damage. Given the style, combining a classic bow design with modern clear stones, this piece likely belongs to the contemporary or modern era, possibly from the late 20th century to the present day. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with stones securely set and the metalwork showing a clean finish. No visible manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the image.
