Gold-Tone Sculptural Ribbed Pendant Necklace

This item is a contemporary fashion necklace featuring a large, gold-tone metal pendant with a distinctive sculptural aesthetic. The pendant is characterized by a series of vertical, raised ribbing or gadrooning that tapers into an asymmetrical, fan-like or claw shape. The finish exhibits a high-polish, bright gold luster typical of gold-plated or costume jewelry base metals. It is suspended from a delicate gold-tone chain, which appears to be a basic cable or link construction. The design language is reminiscent of 1980s or 1990s 'power jewelry' styles, which favored bold, chunky silhouettes and bright yellow gold finishes. In terms of condition, the piece shows minimal signs of wear; the surface remains reflective with no obvious pitting, though some minor surface scratches and faint oxidation near the bail area suggest it has been handled. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front of the pendant, which is common for mass-market vintage costume jewelry designed during the late 20th century. The overall craftsmanship is consistent with industrial manufacturing rather than hand-forged fine jewelry.
