This is a beautiful AF Designs artisan pendant, marked 925 AF for sterling silver and featuring an unusual articulated, multi-stone design.

The pendant features three deep red faceted garnet stones, two elongated Biwa-style freshwater pearl elements with beautiful natural iridescence, and a large polished peach/tan oval cabochon at the bottom. The exact material of the large cabochon has not been identified, so I am leaving that stone undesignated rather than guessing.

The pendant is especially interesting because it is hinged/articulated in two places, allowing the sections to move independently. The decorative sterling silver bail completes the handcrafted statement design.
