Appraisal Report
The item is a necklace featuring an oval pendant with a vintage-inspired design. The pendant has a gold-toned finish with intricate openwork or filigree detailing surrounding a prominent, oval-faceted, deep pink or red stone. The stone appears to be glass or a synthetic gem, common in costume jewelry. The pendant is attached to a silver-toned chain of a bar-and-link style. Lacking clear indications of precious metals (like gold hallmarks) or identification of the stone as a natural gemstone through testing, the piece is assessed as costume jewelry. The appraisal value is based on its aesthetic appeal, design complexity, and comparison to similar vintage-style costume pieces found in the secondary market. Its primary value lies in its decorative quality rather than the intrinsic worth of its materials.
