Vintage 9k Talon Pendant/Charm with Black Stone Ball

This neat little pendant or large charm features a talon clasping a shiny, round black stone, assumed to be onyx. Electronically tested as stone (not glass).

The talon has lots of fantastic detail and is solidly built - perfect for everyday wear.

Hallmarks on top of piece are very small but read for 9k (375) gold. Common control marks of the scales with 375 in the center are legible but the remaining marks are harder to identify.

The black stone ball moves freely in the talons but is secure. Would make an interesting worry stone.

Total weight is 2.7g. Pendant measures approx 22.5mm tall.
