Description from the seller
This elegant yellow gold pendant combines geographic and natural symbolism, the silhouette of the continent serving as a canvas for a design that fuses geography and nature into a single, precious narrative. The centerpiece of the jewelry features a relief palm tree, a symbol of life and resilience, which rises boldly from the center of the continent. What makes this piece truly special is the play of contrasts between textures: the surface of the continent has a satin and sand-blasted finish, a matte and elegant background that allows the glossy details to stand out decisively. The edges of the silhouette and the fronds of the palm are embellished with a diamond-cut finish; these microscopic mirror-incisions catch and reflect every ray of light, giving the pendant a luminosity that evokes the sparkle of precious stones. Finished with a mirror-polished teardrop bail, it is a piece of contemporary ethnic jewelry that blends the warmth of gold with the craftsmanship of times past, perfect for those seeking jewelry that stands out for style and character.

Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
