An authentic mid-20th century 10k gold abacus pendant with three rows of white cultured pearls. This is a delicate retro design piece, popular in US jewelry circa 1950-1960, symbolizing balance, wisdom and prosperity. The pendant frame and spiral bars are made of 10K gold, and the top connecting loop with spring clasp is marked 1/20 12K GF, likely added later to replace or reinforce the original mounting. The pearls are genuine cultured, subtly irregular in shape, with a soft natural luster.
