Modern Matte Gold-Tone Graduated Disc and Teardrop Gemstone Pendant

This item is a linear articulated pendant or earring component featuring a sequence of three circular, flat metal discs that terminate in a bezel-set teardrop-shaped stone. The metal components are finished in a matte, brushed gold-tone plating, exhibiting a contemporary satin luster rather than a high-polish shine. The discs are connected by small integrated jump rings, allowing for fluid movement between the segments. At the base, a faceted glass or synthetic gemstone of a warm amber or champagne hue is secured within a matching matte bezel setting. The stone features a distinct table cut and symmetrical facets that catch the light. The top segment includes a small integrated loop for attachment to a chain or an earring wire. Regarding condition, the metal shows minor surface abrasions and slight variations in the matte finish, typical of costume jewelry. There are no visible maker's marks or metal purity stamps, suggesting this is a modern fashion accessory, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced boutique jewelry, utilizing base metals and machine-cut synthetic stones to achieve a minimalist, geometric aesthetic.
