Turquoise Charm Appraisal

Gold-Toned and Turquoise Enamel Compass Rose Charm with Clear Stone Accents

This item is a small, circular charm or pendant, exhibiting a vibrant aesthetic that suggests a modern or contemporary design, possibly with vintage inspiration. The main body of the charm is a flat, circular disc. Its face features a striking turquoise blue enamel, which appears smooth and glossy, indicating a well-applied finish. The enamel is bordered by a thin, raised gold-toned edge. Centered within the turquoise field is a four-pointed starburst or compass rose motif, rendered in the same gold-toned metal as the border, with a small, round, clear stone (likely a diamond or a diamond simulant) set at its center. This central stone is brilliant-cut, suggesting it is designed to maximize light reflection. Above the main disc, a small, round, clear stone is bezel-set in a gold-toned setting, acting as an intermediary between the charm and its suspension bail. The bail itself is a simple, polished gold-toned loop, allowing it to be easily attached to a chain or bracelet. The overall construction appears solid and well-finished. The additional context '925' suggests that the gold-toned metal might be vermeil (gold-plated sterling silver), or that sterling silver is the base metal for some components, even if the primary visible metal is yellow-toned. There are no visible signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, and the enameling appears intact. The item's clean lines and bright colors contribute to its appealing and likely versatile nature. The quality of the enamel work and stone setting appears to be good, indicative of careful craftsmanship.
