Necklace

This piece is a delicate vintage-style necklace featuring a finely twisted sterling silver rope chain and an ornate oval pendant. The pendant is bezel-set with a polished light green cabochon gemstone—most likely green aventurine or possibly jade—surrounded by a decorative etched sterling silver frame. The pendant’s bail has an engraved pattern consistent with mid-20th-century Southwestern or artisan jewelry designs. The rope chain appears to be sterling silver as well, matching the pendant’s metalwork.
