Dangle Pendant Necklace Appraisal

Pendant Necklace with Oval Cabochon and Dangles

This is a decorative pendant necklace featuring a circular metallic pendant adorned with a central oval cabochon stone or shell, possibly mother-of-pearl or abalone, set within an ornate, openwork filigree design. The filigree incorporates swirling patterns and small, light blue-green accents, possibly enamel or resin, creating a subtle contrast with the metallic silver-toned frame. The central oval element has a smooth, polished surface with iridescent qualities, reflecting light in various hues. Below the main circular pendant, there are three dangle elements suspended. The central dangle consists of multiple small, irregularly shaped pale stones or shells, possibly chips of mother-of-pearl, contributing to an organic aesthetic. The two side dangles feature small, light-colored bead-like elements, possibly pearls or glass beads, terminating with small silver-toned caps or spacers. Additionally, small blue glass beads are interspersed within the connection points of the dangles, adding a touch of color. The pendant hangs from a silver-toned metal chain, which appears to be constructed from interlocking oblong links, giving it a somewhat delicate but sturdy appearance. The chain is secured with a lobster clasp and includes an extender chain for adjustable length, typical of costume jewelry. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible from the image. The overall style suggests a contemporary or modern aesthetic with some bohemian or natural influences, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears to be good with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though some minor surface scratches consistent with normal use might be present. The metal has a clean, bright finish, indicating it is either well-maintained or relatively new. While the design is intricate, the materials suggest it is likely a piece of fashion or costume jewelry rather than fine jewelry.
