[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1094670, member: 2844"]It is really pretty, but much too recent to be mourning jewellery. My guess is 1980s-90s. The inlay is abalone shell on white mother of pearl. Those are not associated with mourning. This doesn't look like a cheap pendant, but for the value you will have to check the usual sources. Mourning jewellery is antique, and it either has black decoration or stones, dates of the deceased, engravings or inlay associated with death like urns, weeping willows, skulls, etc. Some hair decorated jewellery is also mourning jewellery.[/QUOTE]
