Peace Sign Pendant Appraisal

Gold-Tone Circular Peace Sign Medallion

This item is a large circular medallion featuring an iconic peace sign motif, currently housed within a plastic resealable storage bag. The piece is constructed from a gold-toned metal, which appears to be either high-polish brass or gold-plated base metal based on the reflective, bright yellow luster. The design is characterized by a thick outer perimeter ring with a central geometric cutout forming the peace symbol. A notable variation in the design is the inclusion of two additional vertical support bars within the lower quadrants, creating a multi-spoke appearance rather than the traditional three-pronged peace sign. It is attached to a thin gold-colored chain via a small jump ring at the top. The overall craftsmanship suggests a contemporary fashion or costume jewelry piece rather than a fine jewelry antique. The condition appears excellent with no visible tarnishing, surface scratches, or metal fatigue, suggesting a modern production date, likely from the late 20th century to the present. The flat, stamped construction indicates mass-market manufacturing rather than hand-forged artisanship.
