Gold-Tone Heart Pendant Sunburst Necklace

This item is a necklace featuring a small, gold-tone heart-shaped pendant attached to a thin, fine-link curb chain via a jump ring. The pendant's most distinct feature is a textured 'sunburst' or 'starburst' radial pattern etched into the front surface, which emanates from an offset point on the right side. In the center of this focal point sits a single, small, round-cut clear stone, which appears to be a cubic zirconia or glass crystal. The metal has a yellow gold finish, though visible dark tarnish and oxidation on the chain and near the bale suggest it is likely gold-plated brass or fashion-grade base metal rather than solid gold. The pendant is approximately 1.5 cm across, showing minor surface scratches and wear consistent with vintage costume jewelry. The style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century fashion jewelry, likely from the 1980s or 1990s. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front of the piece. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced fashion jewelry, with various signs of age-related patina throughout the chain links.
