Antique Sterling Silver Baltic Amber Leaf and Vine Pendant Necklace - An antique sterling silver pendant necklace featuring a natural Baltic amber cabochon. The teardrop-shaped amber stone is translucent brownish-orange with visible organic inclusions and matter. It is secured in a partial bezel setting within an Art Nouveau foliate framework consisting of two textured, die-stamped leaves and swirling wirework vines. The pendant is suspended from a handmade link chain composed of slender wire-work bars connected by circular loops. The necklace fastens with a wire hook-and-eye clasp. No hallmarks or maker's marks are visible on the metal components. Weight: 0.561 ozt Necklace drop length: 13 inches Pendant length: 3 inches. The necklace shows age-related oxidation and a dark patina throughout the silver surfaces (photo 1). The amber cabochon exhibits light surface scuffs and minor scratches consistent with antique jewelry (photo 2). The wirework frame remains intact, though the slender vines show slight irregular bends from previous wear (photo 4). The handmade chain links are all present and connected.
