Modern Baguette and Round Cut Diamond Open-Heart Pendant

This is a detailed open-heart pendant crafted in a white metal, likely 10k or 14k white gold or sterling silver. The design features a stylized, asymmetrical open heart with a 'ribbon' or bypass element that overlaps the top left side. The pendant is heavily embellished with two distinct styles of gemstone settings: an outer border consisting of small round brilliant-cut diamonds and an inner secondary row of channel-set tapered baguette diamonds. The bypass ribbon section also features a channel-set row of baguette diamonds, adding a dimensional layered effect. The craftsmanship is indicative of late 20th-century to early 21st-century commercial fine jewelry, often associated with manufacturers like Kay Jewelers or Zales (e.g., the 'Open Hearts' influence). The stones appear to be near-colorless with visible natural inclusions characteristic of jewelry store promotional grades. The metal surface shows light surface abrasions and minor patina consistent with gentle wear, but the overall structure remains sound. The pendant is equipped with a fixed, polished rabbit-ear bail at the top for suspension from a chain. Notable features include the contrast between the step-cut baguettes and the brilliant-cut rounds, which provides a multi-directional light play. No hallmark is visible in the provided angle, but such pieces are typically stamped on the reverse of the bail or the heart's frame.
