Pendant Findings Appraisal

Coiled 'Diamond Cut' Chain Pendant/Charm with Bail

This item appears to be a small, finely crafted jewelry component, likely a pendant or a charm designed to be worn on a necklace or bracelet. It is constructed from a material that has a metallic luster, exhibiting a pale gold or silver-white color with a fine, textured, and slightly sparkling finish, suggestive of 'diamond cut' or 'glitter' chain. The component is shaped into a double-ring or double-loop formation, with the two loops nested closely together. The construction suggests a flexible, woven or linked chain that has been coiled into this shape. A small, solid bar or connector piece is visible at the top, attaching the two loops and featuring a small, open jump ring or bail, indicating it is designed for suspension. The overall size appears to be quite small, perhaps no more than an inch or two in diameter, based on the visible pen tip for scale. The surface of the component appears clean, with no obvious signs of significant wear, tarnish, or damage such as scratches, dents, or broken links. The craftsmanship seems delicate and precise, with a uniform texture throughout. The context provided mentions 'Italy 10k three heart symbol engraved,' which suggests the material is 10k gold and potentially includes a subtle engraving that is not clearly visible in these images. If present, the engraving would be a significant distinguishing feature and a mark of origin and potential value. The 'Italy' marking suggests European origin, often associated with quality jewelry manufacturing, and the '10k' signifies gold purity. The 'three heart symbol' would be a specific design element adding to its character.
