Gold-Tone Chain with Orange Disc Pendant

This item is a necklace featuring a gold-tone chain and a prominent orange disc pendant. The chain appears to be a delicate, possibly curb or rope style, with small links, uniformly colored in a bright gold tone, suggesting it could be gold-plated or a gold alloy. Its length is not precisely discernible but it is long enough to drape as a typical necklace. The chain connects to a spring ring clasp, also in gold tone, for securing the necklace around the neck. The main feature is the round, flat pendant, which is a rich, translucent orange color. This disc has a polished surface and a distinct, central circular opening, characteristic of a 'pi disc' or similar cultural motif. The material of the orange disc appears to be a type of natural stone, possibly carnelian or agate, given its color depth and slight variations in translucency. It is suspended from an ornate gold-tone bail that features decorative filigree or scrollwork, suggesting a somewhat ornate or perhaps vintage aesthetic. A smaller, decorative element, possibly a stylized heart or shield with an etched pattern, is affixed within the central opening of the orange disc and directly below the bail. The metal components, including the chain, bail, and central accent, all exhibit a consistent bright, shiny gold finish. No obvious signs of damage, significant wear, or repairs are visible from the image, but the gold tone's luster could indicate it is either newer, well-maintained, or not solid gold. The design suggests a style period from the mid to late 20th century, possibly the 1970s or 1980s, given the combination of natural stone and bright gold-tone metal. The craftsmanship of the metalwork, while decorative, appears to be industrially produced rather than handcrafted, though the stone itself may have been hand-cut and polished. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures.
