Heart-Shaped Pendant Necklace with Faux Pearl

This item is a necklace featuring a heart-shaped pendant, crafted from a light gold-toned metal, possibly brass or a similar alloy, consistent with costume jewelry. The pendant has an openwork design around its perimeter, forming small, stylized heart or petal-like shapes interconnected, giving it a delicate, lacy appearance. At the center of the heart, a single, spherical, cream-colored faux pearl is prominently set. The pearl exhibits a gentle luster, typical of imitation pearls made from glass or plastic. The pendant is attached to a thin, seemingly delicate chain, also in a matching light gold tone, suggesting it is a unified piece. The chain appears to be a common link style, possibly a cable or curb chain, consistent with lightweight jewelry. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The overall style suggests a vintage or reproduction vintage aesthetic, possibly from the mid-20th century onwards, often associated with romantic or sentimental jewelry. The metal shows some slight discoloration or patina, which could indicate age or simply wear. The condition appears to be relatively good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such as breaks, dents, or missing components. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced fashion jewelry, with attention to detail in the filigree-like border of the heart.
