14 Karat Gold Gemstone Cluster Pendant

The item is a small, cluster-style pendant, appearing to be crafted from yellow gold, as indicated by the '14 KT. GOLD' label within its presentation box. The pendant features a floral or starburst design, composed of a central arrangement of gemstones. There are clearly visible dark green stones, likely emeralds or a similar gemstone, interspersed with clear, colorless stones, indicative of diamonds or cubic zirconia. These stones are faceted and set closely together to form the cluster. The pendant includes a small, integrated bail at the top, allowing it to be suspended from a chain (not included). Its diminutive size suggests it would be suitable for a delicate necklace. The gold metal shows minor surface wear consistent with age and occasional use, but no significant damage or repairs are apparent. The stones appear to be intact and securely set. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced piece rather than a bespoke one, but the setting work for the stones seems competent. The accompanying box is a traditional velvet-lined jewelry box, grey in color with gold-colored trim, and a cream-colored satin or silk lining inside the lid. The box itself shows some signs of wear, particularly along the edges and corners, indicating it has been handled over time. The '14 KT. GOLD' plaque is a clear indicator of the metal purity. Based on the style of the setting and the presentation box, the item likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century.
