Sterling Silver Heart and Rose Pendant Necklace

This is a sterling silver necklace featuring a heart-shaped pendant with a raised design of two roses and a leaf. The pendant is crafted from a silver-toned metal, likely sterling silver, given the patination and overall appearance. The heart outline has a slightly uneven or rustic edge, suggesting a handcrafted or vintage aesthetic rather than a mass-produced, perfectly smooth finish. Within the heart, two three-dimensional rose blossoms, one larger and one smaller, are depicted on a stem with a single leaf. The roses show detailed petals and a naturalistic form. The entire pendant has a noticeable dark patina, particularly in the recesses of the roses and along the edges of the heart, which enhances the dimensionality of the design and indicates age or lack of recent polishing. The pendant is suspended from a delicate yet sturdy chain, which appears to be a cable or curb chain link style, consistent with general jewelry manufacturing. The chain also exhibits a similar dark patination, blending with the pendant. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps identifiable from the provided images. The overall condition suggests typical wear for a piece of its estimated age, which could be mid to late 20th century, with the patina being the primary visible 'condition issue' rather than damage. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear detailing on the floral elements and a solid construction for both the pendant and chain.
