Featured Pendant marked Bergen A Zee Juli 1933

Appears to be silver, maybe agate with bunch of grapes that may be garnets

I sort jewellery for a local thrift store and this item has been donated

does anyone have any idea what this item is? A tourist piece? Or something more?

 

I would think agate to have more striations in it...

anything on the reverse ?

 

The reverse is opaque, just like the front. The “grape” appliqué has been pinned or nailed through the stone or glass so the heads of the pins show on the back

 

Bergen aan Zee, therefore marked/given as present in the Netherlands.
No hallmarks visible?
The Dutch mark could be hard to detect if it's the small sword

 

It isn't your usual Dutch souvenir, and a text like 'Bergen aan Zee juli 1933' is a very specific and personal text, not a souvenir text.

Could you show us a better photo please? Also one of the back, and of the loop and bail, if you can.
If it is silver, it should be marked. Dutch assay marks are notoriously tiny. It is likely to be punched with the second sword mark Marote posted above.

It could be white moonstone, which used to be popular in the Netherlands.

 

Updated photos. I cleaned the hallmark I believe it says P25

I wonder if it could be camphor glass? The design reminds me of pendants with camphor glass.

 

It's chalcedony. A milky agate used quite extensively in Victorian jewelry. The grapes quite likely are garnet. The setting is probably silver. Very nice piece. I love these and have sold quite a few.

 

I wonder if it was an engagement gift, with that inscription.

It is the maker's mark. Could be P2S, but either way I can't find it. It is definitely a Dutch mark though.

There could be a sword mark on the loop or the bail. That would be the assay mark, aka hallmark.

 

Thank you everyone, I have a much better idea how to describe this item. It really is beautiful

 

It certainly is a beauty. Just a word of advice, if you want to sell it most people would like to know if it has an assay mark. We are more than happy to help you determine which mark and fineness it is, if you find it.
As I said before, the loop and the bail are the most likely places for an assay mark on a Dutch pendant.
