Yellow Gold Pendant Necklace with Synthetic Ruby and Octagonal Tag

This piece of jewelry is a yellow gold necklace featuring two distinct hanging elements: a circular gemstone pendant and an octagonal textured metal tag. The primary pendant is bezel-set with a vibrant, round-cut synthetic ruby of a deep pinkish-red hue, surrounded by a scalloped or gear-like gold border that includes small white accents, likely seed pearls or white enamel, though some appear missing or degraded. The pendant is suspended from a delicate yellow gold box or anchor-style chain. Attached to the opposite end of the visible chain segment is a flat, octagonal gold tag featuring embossed Chinese or East Asian characters against a textured, sandblasted background. The craftsmanship indicates a commercial or mid-century production, possibly of 14k or 18k gold given the rich yellow color characteristic of high-karat Asian jewelry. Condition-wise, the piece shows visible signs of age and wear; the metal surfaces exhibit minor scratches and patina, and the decorative border around the central gemstone appears to have lost several of its small white inset elements. The chain is secured with a standard spring ring clasp. The overall style suggests a personalized or commemorative piece from the mid-to-late 20th century.
