Mixed-Metal Pendant Necklace with Amber-Colored Stone

This item is a necklace featuring a pendant with an amber-colored stone, likely an amber or citrine. The pendant itself appears to be crafted from mixed metals, primarily silver-toned metal, possibly sterling silver, with gold-toned accents. The main body of the pendant is somewhat rounded or oval-shaped, with a prominent bezel-set, faceted stone at its center. This stone exhibits warm, earthy tones ranging from deep orange to light brown, indicative of amber or similarly colored gemstone. The bezel setting around the stone is gold-toned, creating a striking contrast with the silver-toned body of the pendant. The silver-toned metal parts of the pendant show a dark patina in the recessed areas, suggesting an antiqued finish or natural tarnish from age, which enhances its intricate details. The pendant's design includes decorative elements, possibly swirling or scalloped motifs, visible around the central stone. The bail, which connects the pendant to the chain, is also silver-toned with a gold-toned accent on its top surface, featuring a textured or patterned design. The chain attached is a box chain, known for its square or box-like links, and appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, likely sterling silver. The overall condition appears good, with expected signs of wear such as minor surface scratches and the aforementioned patina, which contribute to its character. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced piece, possibly by a recognized jewelry designer known for mixed-metal designs, such as David Yurman, given the characteristic cable motif that appears to be subtly integrated into the bail. This piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century.
