Red Necklace with Medals

Here we can see John Lennon wearing a red necklace with some pendant medals at Capitol Studio, March 9, 1973 (released by John Lennon Estate).

On October 6, 1973 May Pang is wearing the same necklace on her date with John at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

We can see John wearing it again for the Jim Stacy benefit on March 24, 1974:

We don't know the details of this photo, but it's May in the 1980s wearing the same necklace...

Was it a gift from John to May? (most possible case)

Was it a gift from May to John and she got it back after their break-up or his murder? (She was working for the Lennons since 1971; we can see him actually wearing it at on the One to One concert in 1972 and she was there; she claims they saw each other after 1975 as lovers several times).

Does the necklace itself has any meaning? Is is of Asian, Chinese, Buddhist origin?

So many questions, but very interesting in any case. If any of you know the details feel free to comment/reblog the post or send us a message and we will update the info! :)
