Gemstone Necklace Appraisal

Pear-Shaped Gemstone Pendant Necklace

This item is a necklace featuring a prominent pear-shaped gemstone pendant. The chain appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver, white gold, or plated base metal, exhibiting a standard cable link or similar delicate design. It has a visible spring ring clasp, which is a common closure mechanism for necklaces. The overall length of the chain is not discernible from the image, but it appears to be a standard choker or princess length. The main feature of the pendant is a large, clear, faceted pear-shaped stone, likely a diamond, cubic zirconia, or white sapphire, given its brilliance and cut. It is set in a claw or prong setting, with at least four prongs securely holding the stone. Above the pear-shaped stone, contributing to the bail or accent, are two smaller, elongated, baguette-cut or tapered baguette-cut clear stones, possibly complementing the main stone in type or being a different simulated material. These smaller stones are also set in what appears to be a channel or bezel setting, providing a clean lines to the design. The metal setting for the pendant matches the silver tone of the chain. The item appears to be in good condition with no obvious chips or cracks visible on the stones, nor any significant tarnish or damage to the metal. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced piece, potentially from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed for everyday wear or as an elegant accent.
