I am pretty sure that is a "talisman for riches" medallion bearing the seal of "great prosperity."

Thanks Lost &Found.....I'm just curious who Gloria was.

 

[nhbenz]

gloria et divitiae in domo ejus... (Latin) Glory and wealth be in his house, (and righteousness endure forever is the meaning of the other Latin stuff that follows, not included above)
So, Gloria isn't a who, but glory in Latin.

Doesn't look pewter or lead to me.

creskol is correct it's called a "riches talisman" here: Riches Talisman Wealth Pendant Necklace Amulet Prosperity Fame Money Success | eBay



The one side of your pendant looks more like the following solomonic magical seal, so the words are "Alpha and omega" in the image shown itw "Alpha & ω (omega)"

So relish looks like your wealth and fame and glory will be ok if you start wearing this, hahaha.

The gold color is from the lamp I used to take the photo......it's really silverish.
