Vintage Gold-Tone Openwork Floral Pendant or Brooch

This item is a vintage decorative jewelry piece, likely a large pendant or possibly a brooch, featuring a circular openwork frame. The construction consists of a bright gold-tone metal, potentially gold-plated or gold-filled base metal, with a polished finish. The design incorporates a central vertical bifurcated bar flanked by a twisted rope-style circular frame. Adorning the left side are two stylized heart-shaped leaves and three circular settings containing dark, possibly black onyx or jet cabochons. Each cabochon is held within a floral-motif ruffled bezel. The piece features pointed, lozenge-shaped terminals at the top and bottom, suggesting a formal or heraldic aesthetic. Condition-wise, the gold plating shows significant wear on the topmost cabochon Setting, where the underlying dark metal is exposed. There is light surface scratching and a slight dulling of the finish consistent with mid-20th-century age (estimated 1950s-1970s). No visible hallmarks are present on the front, but the craftsmanship indicates a mass-market costume jewelry production. The dark stones appear glued rather than prong-set, and the overall weight appears moderate for its size.
