This is a beautiful Hector Aguilar 990 silver brooch/pendant combination on a silver necklace. 
The pendant/brooch is heavily etched/repousse with a round black obsidian stone in the center. 
It is 990 Silver which is higher silver content than sterling silver. 
The chain is not marked. I purchased the necklace with the current chain.
In order to wear as a brooch the chain & jumper ring have to be removed. The jumper ring on the pendant is welded.   
The pendant has a very slight curve the edges do not lie flat. 
The pendant is a nice weight, not flimsy at 55.9 Grams.
