Rectangular Faceted Gemstone Pendant with Gold-Tone Bail

This item is a rectangular faceted gemstone set into a metal frame, likely intended as a pendant or charm. The gemstone exhibits a light brown or smoky citrine color, appearing clear and transparent. Its cut is an emerald or step cut, characterized by parallel facets that create a deep, reflective quality. The dimensions appear to be approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length. The surrounding metal setting, visible at the top and partially encasing the stone, is a warm golden tone, suggesting gold or gold-plated material. At the very top, a small bail or loop is integrated into the metal setting, indicating it is designed to be suspended from a chain. The craftsmanship seems solid, with the stone securely held within its bezel-like setting. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions on the stone, and the metal shows a soft, even patina consistent with age and gentle use, rather than heavy wear or damage. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. Based on its style and the apparent simplicity of the setting, it could date from the mid-20th century or possibly earlier, depending on the specific gemstone and metal composition.
