A silver pendant reshapes the circular emblem into a heart, with an Oregon sunstone above it.

The Sunstone Store describes this pendant as its adaptation of the Bend city logo. Narrow upright letters, including an arched n, follow the heart-shaped outline. The photograph shows how the mark changes when it becomes an object to wear.

The maker’s description supplies the stated inspiration. A dated pattern or design drawing would be needed to identify the exact source artwork and when this version was first made.

Measured

The bureau roundel, the notched construction. Narrow letters, a notched E and a notched B at the same height, an arched third letter, and rounded corners.

Read at medium confidence from 90 px of letter.

Not measured. The pendant is heart-shaped, not a roundel. Excluding it is itself the finding: this is an adaptation that abandons the circle. Excluding a drawing is itself a finding, so it is recorded rather than estimated.
