Description

This lot features two silver-toned pendants, both of which are presented with indicators of sterling silver composition.

The first item is an oval enhancer-style pendant. It features a centrally set, polished oval black cabochon, possibly onyx, framed by a border of small, faceted gray marcasite stones set into the metalwork. The pendant is equipped with a hinged bail designed to be clipped onto a chain or beads. It remains attached to its original retail card which bears the printed text ENHANCER and TARNISH FREE. A numerical mark 3119 is handwritten at the top of the card. A small stamp is visible on the rear of the bail, though the characters are not clearly legible.

The second item is a figural circular pendant. The design consists of a wide, sunburst-textured border surrounding a central cutout silhouette of a girl in a dress, possibly representing a character such as Alice in Wonderland. The pendant is attached to a simple circular jump ring. The lot is accompanied by a plastic storage bag with the handwritten note Sterling Silver in blue ink.


Condition report:

Both items are in good vintage condition. The oval pendant shows minor surface wear to the silver-toned metal, and the retail card shows significant yellowing and adhesive residue at the top (photo 1). The figural circular pendant shows some natural surface oxidation and fine scratches consistent with age and use (photo 2).
