Baccarat Crystal Heart Pendant Cord Necklace

This jewelry piece consists of a transparent, leaded-crystal heart-shaped pendant suspended on a black fabric cord. The pendant features a rounded, puffed aesthetic with a high-gloss, smooth finish characteristic of French crystal houses like Baccarat. It measures approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in width. The crystal is exceptionally clear with no visible interior inclusions, reflecting light with high brilliance. A gold-toned metal bail, likely vermeil (gold over sterling silver) or 18k gold, attaches the heart to the cord. The cord ends are finished with matching gold-toned cylindrical aglets/tips. There is no visible clasp, suggesting an adjustable tie or slip-over design. While no signature is immediately legible in the photo, these pieces typically feature an acid-etched 'Baccarat' signature on the side or bottom edge. The condition appears very good with no visible chips, flea bites, or internal fractures. The black cord shows slight undulation from previous wear but remains intact. This design became iconic in the late 20th century (circa 1990s) and represents a timeless romantic style with high-quality craftsmanship in glass-setting.
