Muslim pendants for men

In our area, wearing jewelry is a female prerogative. But where the reins of human destinies are entrusted to Allah, jewelry is worn by both men and women. Muslim pendants for men come in different shapes, sizes and symbols. They are made from a wide variety of types of metal, ranging from expensive and precious, ending with simple and budget.

It is noteworthy that Muslims wear jewelry not only for decorative purposes. Sometimes they assign a special mission to them, using them as a talisman. Sometimes pendants identify a person's belonging to a religion. So, if for Christians the identifying symbol is a crucifix with the image of Jesus Christ, then for Muslims it is a crescent with a star.

The traditional Muslim symbol in the form of a crescent is often depicted intertwined with a star. This very star is five-pointed and symbolizes the five main Islamic prayers. But the crescent, in this case, identifies the Islamic calendar.

It is surprising, but the crescent with a star began to be used as a symbol long before the advent of Islam itself. The inhabitants of Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul considered him theirs. Today, this symbol is depicted on pendants along with the Mosque.

It is worth considering that the crescent with a star in the Muslim religion is not an analogue of the crucifixion in the Christian. The fact is that the Islamic religion forbids building a cult of anyone, and even more so of Allah. It is customary to think that the image of idols prevents the establishment of Monotheism, which means that it is a sin to depict Allah in jewelry or paintings.

In Muslim countries, gold is cheap, so it is most often used to create jewelry. Pendants and pendants are created from yellow, white and rose gold, perfectly combined with different types of precious stones.

Often, when creating pendants, gold alternates with silver, creating very attractive combinations. By the way, in men's circles it is customary to wear silver and gold pendants in the form of a sketch of Eastern countries or Islamic symbols.

Pure silver is used in the creation of pendants as often as gold. These pendants look very stylish and at the same time unobtrusive. Silver pendants are often made with engraving or some kind of pattern. Often they have an interesting shape. Men appreciate this noble metal for its external conciseness.

Islamic men prefer to wear a pendant in the shape of the main Islamic symbol - the crescent moon - as a talisman. Despite the fact that this symbol has been the main one for Muslims for several centuries, no one still knows exactly what it symbolizes. Some scholars argue that the moon is depicted as a path illuminator, and some associate it with the Greek goddess Artemis.

Islamic pendants for women are usually decorated with bright gemstones.Among them are pomegranate, carnelian, agate, malachite. These pendants look very catchy, so they are the perfect addition to any Islamic outfit. Often girls attach sacred meaning to pendants with stones.

So, girls wear topaz framed in gold in order to save themselves from worries and make their thoughts pure. Interestingly, blue and pink topaz have become widespread among women. The first is usually chosen by business women who want to build relationships with partners. Pink topaz is more to the liking of young and romantic natures, who value beauty first of all in jewelry.

Unlike women's pendants, men's pendants look more restrained. They are not complemented by stones. Often, traditional Islamic prayers and suras are applied to them.

Typically, pendants for men have a clear shape: square or round. But men wear their pendants exclusively around the neck, complementing them with a chain, while women can even wear them on bracelets.

For a man, a pendant is presented as a gift of friendship or as a deep symbol of respect.

It is curious that it is not customary for Muslims to give gifts incognito. Usually they prepare a short speech, which they deliver to the public or to a person in person. Often a note with best wishes is left, which a person is obliged to keep as a keepsake.
