Description
Exquisite antique-style pendant featuring intricate filigree wirework in a warm rose gold tone.

Key Features
Hand-crafted filigree detailing, rare rose gold hue, antique setting, collectible era, unique geometric silhouette.
Authenticity Indicators
Construction method (hand-poured/soldered filigree), aged bale shape, and tone of the gold. High confidence it is a genuine antique, medium confidence on gold karat without a hallmark check.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches and darkening (patina) in recessed areas. The center stone requires testing to determine if it is a diamond or a glass/paste replacement.
