Gem stone pendants are the oldest known jewelry. In ancient times pendants were not only the symbol of authority, but also a symbol of magical powers possession. The word pendant came from the old French and meant “a hanging object”. Generally it was something attached to the earring or a necklace.

In ancient times and even now gem stone pendants had several purposes. First of all it was ornamentation. Pendants had different forms and colors and represented way of life, culture, mood and some religious aspects of the wearer. Pendants also served as protection symbols. Many religious amulets once believed to protect from different illnesses or give special powers to their wearers were found during the large number of excavations. On some of them were signs of self affirmation – like wearer names, names of fiancées, some initials, and so on. And surely gem stone pendants were always made for ostentation. There were parts of rich jewelry pieces embedded which showed the power and wealth.

Pendants can be made from large single crystals or gemstones a setting or without it. It could be only simple attachment so that the jewel can be strung on a tread or a chain. Most pendants feature heavy worked gold or silver settings with a set of colored gem stones in different combinations. Nowadays we can find lots of gem stone pendants of different shape, color and use. Most curious I think between them are “sacred” ankh and Celtic-cross pendants and so called “personal creation” pendants.

Ankh gem stone pendant was the symbol of life in ancient Egypt and looked like as the tau shaped cross surmounted by a circle. The other name for it is “crux ansata” – cross with a handle. For ages Ankh was interpreted as the symbol of eternal life via fertility and creation. In the ancient manuscripts it was often described as a symbol of the “breath of life. It is interesting that ankh gem stone pendants were made only from the semi precious gems and never from the precious ones. However all those semi precious stones had indeed beautiful colors from nature and were ideal suitable for meditation or relaxation exercises, and for focusing the mind procedures.

Personal creation shape gem stone pendants appeared after the world saw the different shape circles cut off on the wheat field in 1991. A nearby town had also reported total loss of power and mysterious lights in the sky above the field the night before. The personal creation gem stone pendant is a combination of different shapes in one object – the cosmic law, and range of numeric, geometrical and musical harmonies. The shapes inside of the personal creation gem stone pendant are close to the genetic library that contains the knowledge of the universe and is encrypted in us. The personal creation pendants have three elements that universe is composed of – light, sound (also called “frequencies”) and geometrical shapes.

After all choosing to wear gem stone pendant or not is the personal business for everyone. Only that a lot of people feel undressed without them.
