Did You Know…?

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt often wore pendants depicting commemorative or auspicious scenes where the ruler was deified. Other pendants were shaped like flies, winged scarabs, vultures, the Eye of Horus, falcons, and sacred snakes.

Another example of an early gold pendant is one depicting two hornets joined together, found in Mycenae and dating back to the 17th century BCE. Etruscan pendants featured spindles and cylinders, often shaped like a human head. Greek and Hellenistic pendants often formed the centerpiece of the necklace, while Roman necklaces commonly featured bull-shaped pendants, cameos, intaglios, and gold coins.

In the Middle Ages, common jewelry included reliquaries or religious pendants and crosses, adorned or enameled with sacred relics and often set in architectural frames. One of the most famous early reliquaries, belonging to Charlemagne, contained relics of the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns set under a sapphire in gold.

By the 14th century, it was common for nobles to wear pendants with heraldic emblems. Women’s pendants often depicted sentimental subjects.

By the early 16th century, pendants became more of a decoration than a religious item. Renaissance artists created numerous beautiful crosses and figurative pendants, modeled in high relief and depicting a variety of subjects, including:

• Mermaids and Tritons
• Ships
• Animals
• Mythological and religious scenes

 

Often, irregularly shaped baroque pearls were adapted for human and animal bodies, with their faces and limbs modeled in gold and enameled.

During the Baroque period, pendants returned to engraved figures and cameo-cut designs, shaped in geometric decorative patterns with gemstones and later into ribbons and floral designs made primarily of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and pearls. These pendants remained popular until the late 18th century.

What’s Important to Know About Christening Pendants?

Today, many stores offer a wide variety of decorations symbolizing faith. Consequently, many Orthodox Christians wonder if it’s appropriate to wear, for example, a cross pendant combined with other jewelry.

Opinions among experts and fashion designers vary. However, they all agree on one thing: The cross is a symbol of salvation. Therefore, christening pendants should be approached with great care.

Such a pendant can feature various images but must be properly combined to avoid diminishing its significance.

Children often start wearing such a talisman from their christening ceremony, which adds special meaning. Every Orthodox Christian should have their sacred talisman, which cannot be worn by another person.

With EM ART’s specially selected collection, you can create unique talismans individualized for their owners.
