What is
used to make pendants
A pendant
is one of accessories among many others affordable to all women since it can
come made from any material. The first pendants used to be made from the rounded
fish vertebras, splendid stones, pieces of wood, amber or bones, unique
seashells and even live flowers, though the latter is not lasting, surely and
is worn for the particular time. When people came to the idea to mine and
process metal and precious stones, the pendants became more elegant and
expensive. Nevertheless, people remember the time when pendants from colorful
glass were appreciated in Europe much higher
that even golden pendants. During the time when porcelain was introduced, many
fashion ladies used to wear a pendant with a piece of white-snow Chinese china.
Today designers
use various materials to make pendants and thus, we can use a tiny motherboard as
a decoration or a CD, a wild panther or a puffy kitty from natural fur, a
wonderful flower made from feathers, fabric or leather, a plastic strawberry or
a cake, a toy or sparkling butterfly made from flamboyant crystals, a small
pearl or solid stone, and various precious metals and stones.
Trendy
pendants today
It is not
that easy to state which pendants are in and which are not. The jewelry
collections are launched and changed regularly and almost every month we can
judge pendants from reputed designers. However, major tendencies are known. So, the idea of stone jungles which is still
demanded at runways in various way is vividly seen in pendants with animals and
various members of animal kingdom are offered from lions and lizards to floral
and herbal motifs, butterflies, bees, scarabs and other insects.
The favorable
return to our ancient roots provoked the designers to work in pagan tendency and
so, there are too many pendants with rotifers, different symbols of the sun,
moon and other signs. The childish theme is still highly appreciated, both
enjoyed by children and adults. Therefore, the precious pendants as shoes, toys,
kitties, hearts, bows and other figurines are loved and required. Fancy works based
upon ancient fairy tales are worth mentioning when decorative castles, witches,
fairies and dragons are found too captivating and charming, especially made
from special steel or precious materials. Surely, the absolute favor is paid to
pendants with Zodiacal signs or stones of appropriate planet to manage the
particular person. Pendants with lids are not popular today and rarely we are
blessed enough to see delightful cameos of our grandmothers, though
professionals believe this is short-term phenomenon since the vintage style
keeps its positions while the appropriate decorative elements are required for
that.
In spite of
low price for pendants, one is better to make sure the pendant goes with the
whole ensemble. Pendants from or with precious stones are not good for kids,
and it is possible just for solemn cases to match the appropriate dress,
whereas plastic and silver with glaze are more appropriate here. Male designers
offer pendants from steel, silver, wood and leather in the pagan aggressive
style. Fragile ladies would better pay attention to unique and light pendants
made from the fine threads trimmed with precious stones. Mature and full size
ladies are recommended to opt for massive solid pendants which make the neck
thinner and feminine-like. However, all matters here when you go out since the
luxury evening dress will never look elegant if you choose a plastic pendant of
the acidic color to match your dress. Yet, pendants can work against you if you
choose the wrong material and decorative elements.
