Vintage Gold-Tone Heart Pendant Necklace with Amber-Colored Marquise Stone

This item is a vintage-style pendant necklace featuring a prominent open-work heart design. The pendant is crafted from a gold-toned metal, characterized by a textured, rope-twist or cable border that forms the heart silhouette. At the center of the heart is a bezel-set, marquise-cut stone of a deep amber or cognac hue, likely made of glass, resin, or synthetic material rather than natural gemstone. Above the marquise stone, near the top of the heart, are two small circular decorative elements that may have originally held minute rhinestones, though they appear empty or reflective in the current light. The pendant is suspended from a thin, silver-toned or white metal chain, suggesting a possible mismatch between the pendant and the original chain. The metal surfaces show signs of light oxidation and age-related wear, with a slight dulling of the gold finish. The craftsmanship reflects mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry styles, likely from the 1970s or 1980s. No visible hallmarks or maker's marks are discernible from the provided angle, though its construction is typical of mass-produced fashion jewelry of its era. Overall, the piece remains in fair vintage condition with minor surface scratches on the central focal stone.
