Egyptian-Style Black Onyx and Silver Cartouche Pendant

This item is a rectangular cartouche pendant featuring three distinct Egyptian-style hieroglyphic icons—a scarab, an eye, and a profile—set against a polished black onyx tablet. The pendant is constructed with a vertical slab of deep black onyx, likely measuring approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in length. It is capped with a polished silver bale that facilitates the passage of a curb-link style silver chain. The silver elements appear to be sterling grade, showing a soft luster consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century craftsmanship. The hieroglyphs are independently mounted or inlaid onto the stone face with precise relief. This style gained significant popularity in the late 1970s and 1980s as souvenir and fashion jewelry. Condition-wise, the piece appears well-maintained with visible surface patina and minor scuffing on the silver bale, typical of authenticated vintage use. No major chips or cracks are noted on the onyx surface. The overall quality suggests a mass-marketed but durable artisan souvenir piece, likely originating from a jeweler specializing in Egyptian revival motifs.
