Organic Coral-Branch Style Gemstone and Pearl Pendant

This decorative pendant features an organic, asymmetrical design reminiscent of marine coral or gnarled tree branches. The metalwork, which appears to be yellow gold-toned (likely gold-plated sterling silver or low-karat gold given the artisan style), has a textured, 'bark-like' finish. It is intricately set with multiple gemstones of varying sizes and colors, including light green peridot-like stones and deep dark stones that may be garnet or smokey quartz. A large, central white cultured pearl serves as the focal point, complemented by smaller pearls interspersed throughout the branch motif. The pendant is topped with a simple polished oval bail. The craftsmanship suggests a contemporary artisan or 'boho-chic' style, likely dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible gemstone loss or significant tarnish, though the highly textured surface may naturally accumulate dust. The back of the piece is not visible for hallmarking, but the overall complexity indicates hand-casting or high-quality wax modeling techniques typical of custom jewelry studios.
