Gold-Tone Memory Portrait Photo Medallion Pendant on Rope Chain

This piece features a circular gold-tone medallion pendant suspended from a substantial rope-style chain. The pendant serves as a 'memory charm,' housing a central round portrait photograph of a man, protected by a transparent cover. The outer perimeter of the circular pendant is embellished with an array of small, round-cut clear synthetic stones or crystals, meticulously set in a halo pattern. A distinctive triangular bail connects the pendant to the chain and is similarly pavé-set with shimmering stones. The rope chain displays a classic twisted texture, appearing consistent in its golden finish. Based on the visual evidence, the metal likely consists of gold-plated brass or stainless steel rather than solid high-karat gold, as indicated by the specific surface luster and the style of the stone settings. The item appears to be of contemporary manufacture, likely from the early 21st century. The condition is fair to good, with the photo insert showing signs of potential moisture ingress or fading, and minor surface scratches visible on the metal backing and bail. The craftsmanship suggests a mass-market fashion jewelry production rather than a bespoke artisan piece.
