Brunette Girl With A Golden Gorget Necklace, Navel Piercing And Earrings Shows Off In The Swimming Pool

Later, Renaissance gorgets were not worn with a breastplate but instead were worn over the clothing. Most gorgets of this period were beautifully etched, gilt, engraved, chased, embossed, or enamelled and probably very expensive.
The Japanese (samurai) form of the gorget is known as a nodowa.
