View Artisan Brutalist Silver Wire Wrapped Black Gemstone Pendant 33g with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. There are possibly a makers mark present inside the bail of the silver, but they are worn and too obscure to be read with the naked eye. I have included photos of this (last two photos).

The piece has no visible hallmarks or maker's stamps (possibly), which is common for unique artisan jewelry from this period. The metal is non-magnetic, indicating a quality silver content. There are possibly a makers mark present inside the bail of the silver, but they are worn and too obscure to be read with the naked eye. We are unable to determine the maker's mark or specific purity mark. I have included photos of this (last two photos). The metal wrapping has a subtle, light-colored scratch or scuff mark visible on the back of pendant (see photo 15)  The large, polished black stone is a genuine natural mineral, but its exact type is undetermined.It is most likely either black obsidian (natural volcanic glass) or black nephrite jade (a dense mineral supported by the heavy weight). We cannot definitively determine which it is without professional gemological testing. Regardless of its specific mineral type, this is a beautiful, heavy statement piece for a collector of vintage modernist jewelry.
