Sterling Silver Heart Pendant Necklace

This item is a modern heart-shaped pendant necklace crafted from what appears to be polished sterling silver or a similar white metal alloy. The pendant features a three-dimensional, 'puffed' or 'full-heart' design with smooth, rounded contours and a soft sheen. It is suspended from a delicate cable link chain that passes through a hidden or integrated bale at the top of the heart. The surface shows a slightly matte finish, potentially due to fine surface scratches or a brushed texture, indicating frequent wear. There is a visible horizontal line or fissure across the lower left quadrant of the heart, which could suggest a manufacturing seam or a structural flaw in the metal shell. No clear hallmark or maker's mark is visible in the provided image, but the design style is reminiscent of late 20th-century minimalist jewelry, specifically echoing the aesthetic of Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. The condition shows light patina and surface abrasions consistent with a vintage or well-loved piece of fine jewelry.
