Oval Gold Engraved Pendant with Bail

This item is an oval-shaped pendant crafted from gold, featuring an integrated bail at its top for attachment to a chain or bracelet. The pendant's central field is a smooth, polished gold surface, which appears to be a warm yellow gold tone, suggesting a decent purity. Engraved in elegant script on this central field is the name "Pepe," and below it, the year "1975". This inscription indicates a personal significance, likely commemorating a birth, anniversary, or other important event in that year. Surrounding the central engraved area is a decorative border with a finely detailed, rope-like or twisted wire design, adding texture and visual interest to the piece. The bail, also made of gold, is a simple, rectangular-shaped component securely attached to the top of the pendant, allowing for movement. While the image does not show any prominent condition issues such as deep scratches or dents, there might be minor surface wear consistent with an item of its apparent age. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear engraving and a well-finished border. The information provided about '4 aquamarine stone' is not visible in the image and therefore cannot be included in the description based solely on observable details. The absence of visible maker's marks or purity stamps prevents a definitive statement on gold karatage from the image alone, although the color suggests it is likely 10K, 14K, or 18K gold. This pendant is characteristic of personalized jewelry popular in the mid-to-late 20th century.
