Pearl Pendant

The item is a small pendant designed in a stylized teardrop or elongated oval shape, appearing to be cast metal, likely sterling silver based on its color and common use in jewelry of this style. The pendant measures approximately 1 to 1.5 centimeters in length and appears to be about half a centimeter wide at its widest point. It has an open framework design, enclosing a single, small, spherical bead which appears to be a pearl, potentially cultured given its size and relatively uniform shape. The pearl has a creamy white color with subtle iridescence. The metal setting has a polished finish with some visible patina or tarnish in the recesses, indicating its age. At the top of the pendant, there is a small soldered jump ring, allowing it to be attached to a chain or other finding. There are no immediately visible maker's marks, hallmarks, or signatures in the image provided due to its small size and resolution. The construction appears sturdy for its size, with the pearl securely set within the metal cage. The style suggests it could be from the mid to late 20th century, possibly dating from the 1950s through the 1980s, a period when simple pearl pendants were popular. The overall condition appears good with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. The pearl itself appears intact with no visible chips or scratches.
