Insert a small screw driver and push down to the side. You should be able to depress the release.

Hi, bluebird. Welcome to the message board. I'm going to move your thread down to the American Pocketwatch forum for better exposure. Good luck with your quest.

Hi,

Insert a narrow object down the pendant to hit the case spring, and gently push. A small dowel is safe.

Good luck. If you need more assistance don't hesitate to ask. That is why we are here to help and assist you with your horological problems.

Good luck.

PS If the stem is there, deep down within the pendant--push on the top end of the stem.
