Oval Black Cabochon Pendant with Ornate Silver-Tone Bail

This item is an oval-shaped pendant or charm, likely designed to be worn on a necklace or bracelet. It features a prominent, smooth, polished oval black surface, possibly made of onyx or black enamel, framed by a thin silver-toned bezel. The most distinguishing feature is the ornate bail at the top, crafted from a silver-toned metal. This bail is adorned with intricate filigree-style scrollwork, creating an openwork design that is visible through the loops. Flanking the filigree section on both sides are textured bands with raised dots or beads, adding to the decorative appeal. The overall aesthetic suggests a contemporary design with influences from traditional or ethnic jewelry styles. The metal parts exhibit a slightly tarnished or oxidized appearance, which could be intentional to enhance the design's depth or a result of natural aging. There are no immediately visible signs of significant damage such as chips, cracks, or deep scratches on the black surface, which maintains a high sheen. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with precise detailing on the bail. No maker's marks, signatures, or specific stamps are discernible from the provided image. The size appears to be suitable for a statement pendant, likely measuring a few centimeters in length.
