subject: The Aura Of Pendant Jewellery [print this page] A pendant is an ornamentation which is generally attached to a necklace or an earring. The most brilliant pieces of jewelry often have a pendant hanging on them. The word pendant is derived from an old french word for "hanging". It has been used in religious symbols, symbols of sexuality and symbols of rock bands. One cannot deny however that there is something in pendants that borders on hypnotizing any beholder.
Pendant designs and sizes range from the most conspicuous and grand to the smaller and less conspicuous ones. Although they can be said to be finishing touches to a piece of jewellery, a pendant usually ends up being the centerpiece of jewelry.
Necklaces are more often adorned with pendants than earrings are. Necklaces were originally made out of animal teeth, bones and shells. As soon as precious metals were discovered along with other sources of ornamentation, designs of necklaces have evolved and eye-catching necklaces of men and women were made from glass, gold, silver and pearls.
Pendant jewellery can be mysterious, powerful and hypnotic. For these reasons, anyone should learn to spend wisely and not be easily enchanted with a pendant's hypnotic powers. A jewelry's spellbinding charms can have such an effect on people that it is hard to control yourself but control is a good practice to master.
Pendant jewellery and designer jewelry in general can enhance the personality of an individual both to himself and to others. Jewelry is costly however and the costs are great when it comes to jewelry. Besides, jewelry needs to be complimented by your outfit, so expensive jewelry has to be complimented with expensive outfit. If your choices are governed by your budget and limitations, then you wisely master your urges and desires and achieve the first step in mastering jewelry and fashion in general.
