Pear-Cut Cubic Zirconia or Diamond Pendant with Pave Accent

This item is a small jewelry pendant featuring a large pear-shaped (teardrop) central stone, likely a cubic zirconia or a low-color diamond, set in a silver-toned metal mounting. The metal is likely sterling silver or white gold, though no hallmark is visible in the provided image. The primary stone is held in place by a v-prong at the point and traditional prongs at the rounded end. Above the main stone, the bail or the top of the setting is decorated with approximately eight to ten tiny, round-cut colorless stones in a pave or micro-pave setting, adding a textured shimmer to the top of the piece. The overall construction appears mass-produced rather than custom-crafted, suggesting a contemporary or modern age. The conditioning shows some surface grime and light scratches on the metal, which are consistent with regular wear. The central stone appears slightly cloudy, which may be due to skin oils or its chemical composition if it is synthetic. There are no immediate signs of missing stones or structural damage to the prongs, suggesting it remains in wearable condition. The style is a classic 'pear drop' aesthetic popular in fine and costume jewelry from the late 20th century to the present.
