Princess-Cut Citrine Pendant in Two-Tone Setting

This contemporary pendant features a large, princess-cut yellow gemstone, likely a natural or synthetic citrine, characterized by its vibrant golden-yellow hue and excellent clarity. The stone is step-cut with a prominent table and deep pavillion, allowing for significant light refraction. It is securely held in an architectural four-prong setting that utilizes substantial, square-shaped prongs which contribute to a modern, geometric aesthetic. The metalwork appears to be two-tone, with the main basket and prongs showing a polished silver-white finish (possibly white gold, platinum, or sterling silver), while the undercarriage or base structure exhibits a contrasting yellow gold tone. A small, simple bail is attached to the top for chain suspension. The craftsmanship is high-quality, with clean lines and a mirror-like polish on the metal surfaces. Condition-wise, the item shows minor surface scratches and faint signs of wear consistent with light use. There are no visible chips or cracks in the stone. The style is late 20th century to contemporary, emphasizing bold shapes and minimalist structural elements.
