Citrine Pendant in Sterling Silver Setting

This item is a sterling silver or white gold pendant featuring a prominent, round, faceted gemstone. The setting for the gemstone is a distinctive stylized 'tear-drop' or 'wave' design, crafted from polished silver-toned metal. The metalwork appears solid and well-formed, with smooth, reflective surfaces, indicative of good quality craftsmanship. The gemstone itself is clear with a yellowish-brown tint, consistent with the appearance of citrine, as hinted in the additional context. It is cut in a brilliant style, presenting multiple facets that capture and reflect light, though some minor surface abrasions or dust are visible, particularly around the facets, suggesting general wear from use. The stone is securely bezel-set within the metal frame, with a visible gap at the bottom of the setting where the stone is held in place by only a portion of the metal rim. No visible maker's marks or stamps are discernible from the provided image. The overall condition appears good with typical signs of light wear, such as minor scratches or scuffs on the metal, and slight dust accumulation on the stone. The style suggests a modern or contemporary design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The piece exhibits a clean and elegant aesthetic, emphasizing the central stone.
