Oval Cabochon Pendant with Wire-Wrapped Bail

This appears to be a vintage or antique pendant or charm, crafted from sterling silver or a similar silver-toned metal, featuring a prominent cabochon-cut gemstone, likely coral or a coral-like material. The main body consists of an elongated oval bezel setting, approximately 1 inch in length and 0.6 inches in width, holding a smooth, polished stone. The stone exhibits a soft, peachy-pink to light orange hue with subtle natural color variations, characteristic of coral. One end of the oval bezel is affixed to a cylindrical bail or loop mechanism, approximately 0.4 inches in height. This cylindrical component is wrapped with two fine wire bands, which appear to be integral to its construction or design. The metal setting shows clear signs of age, including significant tarnishing which gives it a darkened, antiqued patina, particularly in the crevices and around the bezel. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like dents or breaks, but surface scratches consistent with normal wear are visible. The craftsmanship suggests it may be handmade or artisanal, given the simple yet robust construction of the bail and the bezel. There are no discernible maker's marks or hallmarks visible in the image. The overall aesthetic points to a style popular from the early to mid-20th century, possibly Art Deco or Arts and Crafts inspired due to its organic material and lack of ornate embellishment. The quality of the stone's polish and the sturdy metalwork indicate a well-made piece designed for durability.
