It has brilliant colour and is in excellent contition. The small rose pendant has layered deep petals and a small hole to hang on a fine chain. It dates from the same period and looks like bakelite but failed the 409 test. It measures 7/8 x 3/4 inches across and approximately 1/4 inches deep and is also in excellent condition.
