Opal & Diamond Set in Teardrop Pendant on 20" Box Chain, All in 14K Gold, 2.9g

Description: A little drop of gold has a recessed, textured front that holds a round opal cabochon. The opal might be a doublet. I can't see the bottom, so I can't tell. Regardless, it's a very small opal (just 5mm) and whether it's all opal or a doublet, it serves its purpose well, which is to give the pendant a burst of playful blue color. A tendril, extending from the top of the pendant, holds a tiny (0.01 carat) single-cut round diamond. The bale is nicely integrated -- a wire that extends from the top of the pendant onto the back and which can't be seen from the front. The back of the pendant is stamped "14K" plus a maker's mark that could be PM or FM or RM. The 20" box chain is probably of the same approximate vintage as the pendant (i.e., 1960s/1970s) but was sourced separately. It's 0.6mm thick and has a spring ring closure. The closure hardware fits through the pendant's bale, so you can mix and match chains and pendants The chain tag is stamped "ITALY" and "14K." For good measure, the spring ring is stamped "14K." There's yet another unidentified maker's mark -- a W in a circle? a bell? meat? cake? -- on the chain tag's reverse. The pendant is 18mm long and 9.5mm wide. Note for comparison purposes that the mannequin in my photo is a dress form, so the torso is roughly life-sized (if missing a few elements...such as a head). The total weight of the necklace is 2.98 grams. The pendant alone weighs 1.93 grams. Thanks for looking!
