Lot 231: 950 Silver Pendant, Pale Green Stone Teardrop

Description

Description:

A simple, well-made teardrop pendant featuring a smooth, polished cabochon of pale yellow-green stone, likely a member of the serpentine or jade family based on its mottled, slightly translucent surface, though the exact stone type is not confirmed. The stone is set in a clean bezel with a substantial, ribbed tube-form bail, giving the piece good visual weight for its 1 1/4" length. The reverse is stamped "950," indicating 950 fine silver, a higher silver purity than standard sterling (925) and a hallmark commonly seen on Mexican silver jewelry. The understated color and simple silhouette make this an easy, versatile pendant that layers well or wears alone.

Condition Report:

Good vintage condition, wear commensurate with age. The stone is intact with no visible chips or cracks; light surface inclusions and mottling in the stone are natural rather than damage. The silver setting and bail show light overall surface wear. No bends or losses to the bezel noted.
