Claim 18:
19. A pendant comprising:
a face plate including:
a circumferential wall extending from a rear side of the face plate in a thickness direction perpendicular from the face plate and including a beveled edge surface;
a first circumferential step extending from an interior of the circumferential wall toward a center of the face plate;
a second circumferential step extending from an interior of the circumferential wall toward the center of the face plate to define an opening display portion on a front side of the face plate and a seat on a rear side, the second circumferential step extending further to the interior than the first circumferential step;
a plurality of key portions on the circumferential wall protruding toward the interior of the face plate and disposed below the first circumferential step, each of the plurality of key portions offset by a predetermined angle;

a back plate including:
a first circumferential wall defining an inner chamber;
a second circumferential wall having a diameter greater than the first circumferential wall and a height less than that of the first circumferential wall to define a beveled edge surface;
an O-ring resting on the beveled edge surface;
wherein an outer portion of the first circumferential wall above the second circumferential wall includes a plurality of grooves, wherein the plurality of grooves includes key entrances offset by the predetermined angle;
wherein each of the plurality of grooves has a first portion in which the thickness decreases from the key entrance and a second portion connected to the first portion, the second portion having a greater thickness than a point of connection with the first portion,

a circular pillbox having a diameter less than a diameter of the interior chamber of the back plate, the circular pillbox including:
a top cover portion with a circumferential wall extending therefrom;
a lower cover portion defining an internal chamber with the top cover portion, the lower cover portion including a circumferential wall having a diameter less than the diameter of the circumferential wall of the top cover portion; and
a plurality of key portions on the circumferential wall of the top cover portion protruding toward an interior, each of the plurality of key portions offset by a second predetermined angle,

wherein the lower cover portion includes a plurality of grooves on the circumferential wall,
wherein the plurality of grooves includes insert key entrances offset by the second predetermined angle,
wherein when the key portions are positioned over the key entrances, and the top cover portion rotated with respect to the lower cover portion so that the key portions of the top cover portion rest on a top surface of the grooves, the pillbox enters a locked position,
wherein when the key portions on the face plate are positioned over the key entrances of the back plate, and the face plate rotated with respect to the back plate so that the key portions of the face plate rest on a top surface of the second portion of the grooves, the pendant enters a primary locked position.
