Would someone please help me with this piece of jewelry?

I know and have learned quite a bit about Vintage Jewelry but this piece has me really stumped. I have been checking the internet and books for months and cannot find anything at all. I could not get a picture of the signature as it’s very tiny.

It is a Pendant 1 1/2" long without a chain. It has a large teardrop shape faux Pearl that is surrounded by tiny rhinestones. On the Gold Tone back it as the copyright mark and then signed “TAT.” Would anyon have any info about this piece, I would appreciate it so very much. I have looked at Illusion Jewels and everywhere on Google with no luck.

I hope this picture works as I don’t know much about posting pictures here.

This site says TAT is a “Mystery Mark – San Francisco, CA??”

I agree, it is exact, this piece was a popular Wards or JC Penney’s costume piece, a set that did not offer matching earrings, just simple pearl studs, and a rhinestone pair.

Do you have a General Antique Jewelry question but don’t even know how to go about asking it? Or maybe the answer was already in the book you bought but you didn’t understand it?
