Interesting facts and information about diamond pendants.....

Necklaces and pendantis are the most fascinating pieces of jewellery, both mystically and historically, and their appeal is at once timeless and magical.

A pendant is essentially a large charm which hangs around the head and neck, close to the wearer’s heart. Because of this positioning it is believed to accentuate communication skills and contain positive energy which is also good for the nearest bodily organs. Called the "Adam and Eve" of jewellery, the pendant has been one of the most prized ornaments throughout the ages, with the rich and elite aristocracy of both sexes choosing to wear this coquettish adornment.

Great legends and stories have grown around pendants. One of the most famous is the "Affair of the Necklace" scandal in the court of Louis XVI. This concerned the beautiful Countess de la Motte, Queen Marie Antoinette and, of course, a diamond pendant. Ultimately it 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 clock pendant 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, such sa Guy de Maupassant, who´s "The Diamond Necklace" used the motif of a diamond pendant to tell the intriguing story of female vanity and sorrow. Also 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.

Originally, pendants were made from ivory, horn, dried berries and stone beads. The oldest known pendant is over 25,000 years old and made of fish vertebrae. Pendants today are slightly less gruesome and are set with semi precious stones, swarovski crystals, feng shui charms or diamonds, which can be worn with a t-shirt and jeans or a little black dress.
