Symbol Necklace Appraisal

Heart and Cross Pendant Necklace with Pave Stones

This item is a necklace featuring a pendant designed as a cross intertwined with a heart, adorned with small, clear stones that appear to be cubic zirconia or small diamonds. The necklace consists of a delicate, slender chain made of what appears to be white gold, sterling silver, or a similar silver-toned metal, with a uniform link pattern, likely a box chain or a very fine cable chain, indicative of a machine-made process. The pendant itself is constructed from the same silver-toned metal, with a polished finish. The cross arms and the heart motif are set with multiple small, round, brilliant-cut stones, which are evenly spaced and appear to be prong-set or pave-set for a continuous sparkle. The heart element appears to be integrated into the center and upper part of the cross, symbolizing love and faith. The overall size of the pendant seems moderate, suitable for everyday wear. No discernible manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible from the image, suggesting it may be a mass-produced piece or that the marks are on the reverse side of the pendant or clasp, which are not visible. The item appears to be in good condition with no obvious signs of wear, damage, or missing stones. The metal has a consistent luster, suggesting it has been well-maintained or is relatively new. The style suggests a modern design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century.
