Silver-Tone Rope-Pattern Circle Pendant

This item is a small jewelry component, specifically a circular pendant or charm attached to a thin wire or string. The pendant features a distinctive 'rope' or 'twisted' texture around its perimeter, which is a classic design element in bridge and costume jewelry. The item appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, likely pewter or a zinc alloy with a silver plating, given the lack of bright sterling luster and the presence of dark oxidation in the recessed grooves. The oxidation provides a decorative patina that enhances the depth of the rope pattern. The pendant measures approximately 15-20mm in diameter and is connected via a jump ring to a small spherical bead, which then leads to a fine, upright wire. The condition shows minor surface wear consistent with age, but no significant structural damage or deep scratching. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks, suggesting it is a mass-produced modern piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-market jewelry, with clear definition in the mold work for the twisted texture.
