Composed of a highly oxidized white metal set with uncut chunks of amber, most likely secured with an epoxy. The construction is a bit craft-like, with areas of solder showing; the long bail is attached on the back and partially obscures the maker’s mark of A.D. Design, a Copenhagen firm formed by J. Andersen and E. Dennung (1971-1979). The pendant measures 3 1/8 inches long by 2 1/8 inches wide.
Signed: ORLANDO. These Victorian to late Deco era gold gilt on brass adjustable rings do not survive because brass anything was usually tossed out.

Circa 1880
