This is an old mosaic pendant. The mosaic consists of different pieces in various colours turquoise/green/blue. The back and rim is silver plated. There are no marks.
The diameter is 2.5 ". I really have no idea where this pendant comes from. Could it be Mexican??
Is there maybe anyone out there who could tell me something more about?
I'm very curious and eagerly await your posts!

I have some bracelets which have the same kind of mosaic's set in them. They were made in India in the sixties/seventies.
I think your pendant could be from India too.
A while ago Tylulah Vintage posted the same kind of bracelets here on Collectors Weekly.
Hey Agram!
I see this type of jewelry here in America from time to time, it is made in India in the second half of the 20th century.
Hope you are well,
