Gold Accent Necklace Appraisal

Gold-Tone Pendant Necklace with Green Cabochon and Clear Accent Stones

This item is a necklace featuring a pendant with a central green cabochon stone, likely jade or a similar opaque green gemstone. The pendant itself has an organic, swirling or leaf-like design, crafted from what appears to be a yellow metal, possibly gold, gold-filled, or gold-plated, given its warm tone and apparent luster. The design incorporates small, clear accent stones, which could be diamonds or cubic zirconia, set into the metalwork on one side of the central green stone, adding sparkle and visual interest. The metalwork around the green stone appears to secure it with a bezel or partial bezel setting, seamlessly integrating it into the flowing design. The pendant is attached to a delicate, serpentine or foxtail chain, also of yellow metal, indicating it is likely part of a matched set or designed to complement the pendant. The chain exhibits a fine, intricate linkage, suggesting a degree of craftsmanship. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the provided image to ascertain the manufacturer or precise metal purity. The condition appears to be relatively good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, such as bent links or missing stones, though some minor surface wear or tarnish on the metal is possible but not clearly discernible from the image resolution. The overall aesthetic suggests a timeless or possibly mid-to-late 20th-century style, possibly between the 1970s and 1990s, often associated with a classic, elegant look. The quality of craftsmanship for the setting and chain appears to be consistent with mass-produced jewelry rather than high-end custom pieces, given the uniform appearance. The green stone, while appearing to be a natural material, would require further testing to confirm its identity as jade or another specific gemstone.
