To me it looks like some sort of religious pendant but like you said the photos are kind of hard to see.

yes it is def religous... just curious of its age.. is the blueish green discoloration any clue of how old it may be? it is very fragile. almost flakes apart.

After 1830 for sure,I've found one off a site that dated late 1800's. But could be any time for them after 1830.Mine is the pics. below...........

Here's the story...........

religious pendant. Marked 1830 to commemorate On November 27, 1830, Catherine reported that the Blessed Mother returned during evening meditations. She displayed herself inside an oval frame, standing upon a globe, wearing many rings of different colors, most of which shone rays of light over the globe.

The one on the bottom is 1830 I believe and went for about $30.

There's the info on it.

I doubt yours is an 1800s one. They are pretty common and you will find more of them in time. They still make them just like that to this day. I find a couple per year and I hit a spot once that I got 4 in a day at, 2 of them were sterling.

Yours is probably anywhere from 1900 to 1950 or so I would imagine.
