Use your dodge tool to smooth the gradiants of the shade and highlights and with a soft brush smudge the layers into one another to create a smooth transition

Now apply the shine with a large soft brush using a offset white (almost white) apply a few layers of screen till your happy and then use one blured white brush for the light reflection

As its gold you can use bump mapping to emboss texture or details (bumps, imperfections when the pendant was molded of something), if you want you can leave the shine out completly and use a rendered yellow/white spot light and whack the metalic properties up
