The pendant is a small, barely noticeable touch. Seductively playful or indecently luxurious, she, like a drop of good perfume on the wrist, can make any image harmonious.
The name of this decoration is telling. The pendant can be hung on a chain, bracelet, earrings or on clothing. It is often confused with a pendant, but there is one difference between these jewelry. A pendant is a composition that consists of a pendant and a chain/cord. It is worn only around the neck and is not combined with any other jewelry. The pendant is more versatile; it can be combined with a variety of jewelry.

Even in ancient times, people used animal teeth, bones or tusks as pendants. Such decoration was useful: thanks to it, members of the tribe could easily distinguish their own from strangers. Such primitive identification marks were replaced over the years by products made of stone and wood.
In Ancient Egypt, people believed in gods, and therefore the pendant was used as a talisman, protection from evil forces. It was no coincidence that it was hung on the chest in the area of the heart, which was considered a source of vital energy.It is noteworthy that the Egyptians were among the first to make jewelry from precious metals.
By the way! Jewelry made from the shell of the scarab beetle was especially popular among the ancient Egyptians. It was this insect that personified the god Herpi, the lord of the new day.

The name “pendant” appeared in the Middle Ages. Jewelers of that time staged real “duels”, making more and more interesting jewelry. All their products were exclusive and cost incredible amounts of money. They were sold at auctions, where rich Europeans measured the thickness of their wallets.
The Renaissance is considered the heyday of jewelry craftsmanship. Then, for the first time, certain fashion trends in the manufacture of jewelry emerged. Jewelers used not only precious stones and metals, but also more inexpensive materials, thanks to which ordinary townspeople could afford them. However, the period of such mass popularity was short, and the fashion for luxury has not gone away. Expensive materials also remained in demand; the nobility spared no expense on precious jewelry.

Already in the 18th century, jewelry became an attribute of the beautiful life of aristocrats and nobles. Then pendants began to be used not only in pendants, but also by attaching them to clothes.
Both men and women can wear such jewelry. Today, precious metals and stones are used to make it, as well as more inexpensive materials, such as wood, plastic, glass, and ceramics.

It is noteworthy that even the religious cross we are familiar with is considered a pendant. It sounds unusual, but this statement only proves an obvious fact: these decorations are very diverse.They are used to create a stylish image, protect oneself from the action of magical forces (various amulets and amulets), and demonstrate religious affiliation. There are pendants that have a healing effect. For example, special boxes with garlic - an antimicrobial decoration for preschool children - can easily be attributed to such a unique medicine.
The shape of modern pendants is also different. Products in the form of watches, round medallions, letters, zodiac signs, and pictograms are popular. Interesting aromatic pendants, in which you can drop a couple of drops of essential oil.
