The frame closes with a gold padlock. It is linked to the bélière by four chains, and the bélière inserts into a gold pin for wearing as a brooch. The pin can be removed to wear the medallion as a pendant. At the top of the frame is an additional chain with a gold key at the end, long enough to reach the padlock. The padlock is locked by a notch at the end of the buckle, which can be opened and closed by applying pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(248, 247, 246); color: rgb(31, 26, 21);\"\u003eBoth sides of the medallion feature a beveled glass plate.
