Identifying a Piece of Jewelry - dark silvertone pendant with colored stones and decorative filigree I found this in a bag of jewelry. It's the exact size of a quarter. I can find no markings for it. It appears to be filigree of some sort.

There are two red and two blue gems/beads. The blues are off center, but the reds are exactly across from each other. Neither stone matches the other in color, but do in size.

I know it's not silver so my guess is an alloy. It's light weight. I am more curious about the numbers/symbol than I am the value.

Can anyone point me to a website that might help? Thanks so much in advance.

The symbol looks like the Indian Om symbol.

This is om, which is a sacred sound

This resembles some characters on American Indian jewelry but most of this type jewelry is silver so that doesn't fit.

This may be the OM symbol but most India/Hindu symbols do not have any sharp "corners" but are typically very round and flowing but may have "points". I do not have any personal knowledge of these symbols but here is one link that has some information.

I have not found anything that shows a symbol like this but it could be for a club or some sort of affiliation.
I would suggest you take it to some of your local jewelry stores and see if they can give you any information.
Some "costume" jewelry can be worth quite a few dollars.
