    "description": "A portrait, whether carved in stone or painted, could be turned into a \"jewel\" by mounting it in a gold-and-enameled or jeweled frame with a loop, creating what we would call \"jewelry.\" Such pendants were often worn on a chain. They honored the person represented and one's relation to them. This example has been set in gold with enamel and gems.",
