Superb and heavy the craftsmanship of this piece is amazing! The pendant also features a pinback so it can be worn as a brooch. The face is a 3 dimensional maze pattern that has been oxidized in the recesses for a dramatic and hypnotic effect. Fully hallmarked I have paired it with a long small ball bead style chain perfect anyone. Overall the set is in excellent condition with no dings or damage and only mild wear to back, comparable to age. This particular piece dates between 1943 and 1980 based on the markings.
