The  pendant is 1 1/8" high and 7/8" wide.  The slightly domed onyx is bezel-mounted and the diamond (tested and verified) is set in white gold to enhance the visual size and sparkle.


The pendant is stamped "1/20 12K" and hangs from an 18" fine chain with spring-ring clasp (marked 1/20 12KGF).  Condition is superb and the style is timeless and elegant on women of all ages.

The bail is stamped "585" for 14K gold purity.  It will accommodate a chain or cord up to 3.5mm in diameter. I like to go casual chic with a sheer chiffon ribbon or simple rayon braid.

The locket measures 7/8" high (1 3/8" with bail) and 11/16" wide.


The bud's bloom has prismatic pastels of blue, pink, yellow, lavender and green in the white body of the opal.  


The inside holds two photos (just press in place). The reverse has a brushed gold finish.  Included is a 14 1/4" long chain with spring-ring clasp (stamped 1/20 12K).  The bail could also hold a wider chain or ribbon.


Condition is very fine and the opal has good fire.

The domed malachite heart has dramatic diagonal bands of color set off by the brilliant golden rim.  The heart is backed by an inlaid plaque identifying the gold as "14K."  The natural graining of the ivory is visible; the condition is very fine, indeed, and the look is understatedly romantic. (see current listing for a large, plump malachite heart pendant.)

Definitely carat gold, appears hand crafted, age unknown, small round Persian turquoise stone bead hand set into the figural hamsa or hand of Miriam or hand of Fatima symbol.  


More on the symbol can be found here:

/wiki/Hamsa


"The hamsa is often incorporated in jewellery and wall hangings as a superstitious defense against the evil eye."


Also called Khamsa.


Used in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths:


"The hamsa's path into Jewish culture, and its popularity particularly in Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish communities, can be traced through its use in Islam.[9][2] The hamsa was adopted and used by Jews living in the Islamic world, and recognized as a bearer of good fortune among Christians there as well. In Spain, well after the end of Islamic rule, its use was significant enough to prompt an episcopal committee convened by Emperor Charles V to decree a ban on the Hand of Fatima and all open right hand amulets in 1526."


Wonderful charm or pendant, very good condition, ready to wear on a necklace or charm bracelet. VERY lightweight...my basic scale does not register it..so it is under a gram.

The symbol is affixed with two prongs thru the back. The oval pendant measures 1 5/8" high (not including bail) by 1" wide. The ivory plaque is smoothly polished yet you can still detect the natural grain. The symbol is affixed with two prongs thru the back. In both Japanese or Chinese the front character means "longevity", and the character marking on the back is "silver."


The setting of the ivory has a mind-numbing amount of curled and twisted wires, resembling the elaborate art of paper quilling, only done in wire.  Tiny golden balls and scrolls are applied to fill in the areas between the curled leaves and flowers. 


I have tested the mounting and it is of sterling purity.  Gilt silver was often used for this type of laborious eastern jewelry work. The reverse of the mounting is signed, also in an Asian character.  The pendant is in wonderful condition and comes in its original fabric-lined, silk-covered box.  I would date it to about 1960. I have added a 24" long gold-filled chain with spring clasp from an old store stock purchase, never worn.
