Two Piece Pendant Appraisal

14K Gold 'Te Amo' Split Heart Pendant Set

This item is a two-piece split heart pendant set, crafted from 14-karat yellow gold, with a combined weight of 1.6 grams. Each half of the heart pendant features its own bail, allowing the set to be worn by two individuals, symbolizing a connection. When the two halves are united, they form a complete heart shape. The surface of the heart is textured with a fine, granular finish, giving it a slightly matte and sparkly appearance, which contrasts with the polished letters and outer border. The words 'TE AMO' (Spanish for 'I love you') are prominently displayed across the heart, with 'TE' on one half and 'AMO' on the other. The lettering is raised and polished, creating a clear distinction against the textured background. The outer edge of the heart and the bails are also polished and feature a diamond-cut, corrugated pattern, which would catch and reflect light, adding to its visual appeal. The bails are simple, classic jump ring style, soldered securely to each pendant half. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of good commercial quality, typical of mass-produced jewelry. There are no visible signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs in the provided images, suggesting the item is in excellent pre-owned or new condition. Given its design and material, it likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century, a common style for sentimental or couples' jewelry. The 14k gold purity indicates a durable and valuable piece of fine jewelry.
