Knife Wielding Rose Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace?

Good Morning, Antiquers!
Is this a Rose? With a Knife?
I can't decide if it's a cartoon character or a Rose.
Knife? Lower bottom of pendant.
Any idea of the maker? HC? Hc?
I would appreciate your help.
Have a Good Morning. Oh... In case I don't see you later,
Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good Night. ;

 

A rose. Where is the knife?
HC.

 

Hi, Lower left side. Horizontally. It resembles a knife but could be part of the flower. The blade? points toward the two open work leaves. Calling it a knife is a stretch, unless one has an over-active imagination. Thanks.

 

I see. It looks like part of the rose.

 

Might be Native American

Thank You. I agree, it does
resemble a Rose.

 

Obviously not marked as such, and I don't think they do much in sterling, but the rose itself looks like some recent stuff done by Alex and Ani. I know this is not AaA but I would have said it was if I hadn't seen the markings........

 

If I were guessing, I'd think it was 80s small batch work. It doesn't look Native American, but it might have come out of one of the better gift shops.

 

Thank you. I'm not familiar with Alex and Ani; I'll have to look up their work.

 

Thank you. Does batch work mean mass produced or produced in quantity?

 

"A Rose by any other name would smell as Sweet."

 

clutteredcloset49,
Thanks for the suggestion. BTW, I like your username. If I had to choose a similar name, it would be clutteredgarageatticbasement.. I have to street park, because my 2 car garage is filled with boxes. .

 

I'd say produced in smaller quantities but not an individually made piece. Dozens rather than thousands.
