Two photographic portrait pendants dating from the early 20th century. The first item is a circular pendant featuring a portrait of a young man in a British First World War military uniform with a high-collared tunic. The photograph is set within a gold-tone metal bezel, possibly gold-filled or brass, and is fitted with a suspension loop currently attached to a brass safety pin. The second item is a larger circular pendant constructed from a tortoiseshell-effect composite material, likely celluloid. It contains a circular sepia-toned photographic portrait of a woman set within a silver-tone metal bezel. The pendant is decorated with an ornate cast silver-tone metal mount featuring a ribbon-tied bow and foliate motifs, finished with a circular suspension ring.
