Modernist Silver Angel Pendant

This item is a small modernist-style pendant in the shape of a stylized angel, suspended from a fine metallic chain. The pendant features a minimalist design with a circular form representing a head or halo at the top, followed by a sleek, tapered body or 'gown' that widens at the base. It is crafted from a bright, polished white metal, likely sterling silver or a silver-toned alloy, which exhibits significant light reflection and specular highlights despite the soft focus of the image. The construction appears to be a solid cast or stamped piece with smooth, rounded edges and a highly reflective surface finish. This style of religious-themed jewelry is indicative of mid-to-late 20th-century design, often associated with giftware from the 1980s or 1990s. While no specific maker’s marks are visible due to the image quality, the uniform luster suggests the piece has been well-maintained with minimal surface tarnish. The pendant is attached to the chain via a simple integrated bail at the apex of the 'halo' element. Such pieces are frequently given as tokens of protection or religious milestones like first communions or confirmations, and the craftsmanship appears to be of standard commercial quality for decorative jewelry.
