Pendant with a photo inside

Fashion trends change in such a way that some things, after a certain period of time, become trendy again. Jewelery is no exception. An elegant opening pendant with a photograph inside, which was especially popular in past centuries, has again become a favorite decoration of contemporaries.

Such familiar accessories as earrings, rings, beads appeared a long time ago. Many years ago, they adorned and delighted women of different classes, different origins. With their help, beautiful ladies enchanted men, made rivals nervous.

Each product has its own biography, an interesting history of origin. Photo pendants have also gone through many transformations. Now no one remembers who first created this thing, but it is truly known that the ancestors of the pendant were the amulets of the ancient inhabitants of the earth.

To protect themselves from otherworldly forces and various troubles, the ancient pagans hung a pebble around their neck, endowed, in their opinion, with a sacred meaning. The object was necessarily placed on a strip of animal skin.

With the evolution of mankind, changes also occurred with pendants. They became more complex, but no less interesting. In Egypt during the time of the pharaohs, pendants were often used.Cleopatra herself gave her close associates pendants with precious stones, on which her name was engraved, and sometimes her image.

In the XV-XVI centuries, pendants with a secret appeared. The stone was sawn in half, as a result, something similar to a shell with a cavity inside was obtained. Poison was poured into her. The deadly liquid was most often poisoned by loyal subjects close to the royal family and the kings themselves.

After some time, noble people came up with a different purpose for jewelry - they began to hide the most expensive thing in pendants - the image of a loved one or his hair. In those days, the names of lovers, for certain reasons, were often hidden, because such accessories were a good solution to heart problems.

Sailors especially valued such attributes. They hid photographs of their wives, children, their hair in pendants. These decorations became the only reminder of their native home during long journeys across the expanses of the seas and oceans.

By the end of the Middle Ages, pendants, which had an opening, were transformed from decorations into decals. Such awards were received by the best warriors and prominent figures who were at court.

It was from the opening pendant that Faberge, famous to this day, began his activity. The master made his first creations in the form of pendants. But the decorations were so heavy that the jeweler was forced to abandon this idea and start producing amazingly beautiful eggs in the form in which they have survived to this day.

Such an amazing decoration as a pendant is a variety of models and styles, so that they can be combined with any kind of clothing. Distinguish:

• pendants on a short and long chain;

• small, medium, large;

• glass, with natural stones, metal;

In addition to standard pendants with a photo inside, more complex versions are made that can fit up to eight pictures. There are also opening heart-shaped decorations.

Today, the production of pendants has reached such heights that sometimes you can see their most unexpected options. These are figures of animals, flowers and insects, geometric symbols and so on. But, in order not to decorate a person, opening medallions are designed, first of all, to remind their owner of the important thing in his person or moment.

Pendants are most often made of precious metals - white and yellow gold, platinum, and silver. Often different details of precious stones are inserted into the base. In modern production, Swarovski crystals are also used. Cheaper products are decorated with beads and other attributes.
