Two-Tone Elephant Circle Pendant

This pendant features a charming two-tone design, showcasing a central elephant figure enclosed within a circular frame. The circular frame and the attached bail are crafted from a yellow-tone metal, likely gold or gold-plated sterling silver, while the elephant itself is made from a contrasting silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver or pewter. The elephant is depicted in a standing profile with its trunk raised in a classic 'lucky' position and features textured detailing on the body and ears. Measuring approximately 20-25mm in diameter, the pendant exhibits a polished finish on the yellow metal ring and a more matte, slightly antiqued finish on the elephant figurine. Regarding condition, the piece shows visible signs of age and wear. The silver-toned elephant exhibits significant surface oxidation and dark patination, particularly in the recessed areas of the casting. The yellow metal frame shows minor surface abrasions and light scratches consistent with regular handling and contact with other jewelry. The craftsmanship is cast, with the elephant figure securely soldered to the bottom interior of the ring. While no specific maker's marks or fineness stamps are visible in this view, the style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century novelty jewelry. The bail is a standard tapered design, integrated seamlessly onto the top of the circular frame, and appears sturdy and functional for use with a fine jewelry chain.
