Neckwear is one of the most fascinating pieces of jewellery both mystically and historically with timeless appeal and magic.
A pendant is essentially a large charm hanging from around the neck and heading for the wearer’s heart. Because of this positioning it is believed to accentuate communication skills and contain positive energy which is good for the heart and lungs. Called the “Adam and Eve” of jewellery the pendant is one of the most prized ornaments throughout the ages, with both sexes of the rich and elite aristocracy wearing this coquettish adornment as part of their everyday clothing.
Great legends and stories have been told around pendants with the famous “Affair of the Necklace” scandal in the court of Louis XVI concerning the beautiful Countess de la Motte, Queen Marie Antoinette and a diamond pendant which led to the downfall of an ancient French regime. In Britain the Earl of Leicester (who was in love with Queen Elizabeth), presented the monarch with a pendant of a diamond studded clock on a gold chain encrusted with diamonds of all shapes and sizes in his efforts to woo her.
Pendants are used to fan the creativity of many a film director, with Guy de Maupassant´s “The Diamond Necklace” using the motif of a diamond pendant to tell this wonderful story of female vanity and sorrow. Or there is the famous “Heart of the Ocean” blue diamond pendant worn by Rose in the film Titanic which was so pivotal to the plot.
Pendants were originally made from ivory, horn, dried berries and stone beads. The oldest known is over 25,000 years old and made of fish vertebrae. The costume jewellery available nowadays has created the trend to wear your attitude round your neck with style. Pendants set with semi precious stones, swarovski crystals, feng shui charms or diamonds worn with a tee shirt and jeans or little black dress can be seen everywhere with every famous young (and old) thing endorsing the trend on the red carpet at some glitzy event or in the local supermarket.
