The round medallion sits above a scrolled fleur-de-lis drop that gives the pendant an architectural weight without heaviness. The large bail suggests it was made to be worn on a substantial chain.

A fully functional miniature coin purse worn as a pendant — the body woven in fine gold-tone mesh, framed by a scalloped metal border and centered with a small enamel heart bearing a hand-painted pink rose.
