| Diamond Pendants to Convey a Message |
| In Victorian times, lockets were given to loved ones, or members of the family containing a small lock of the givers hair. This unusual gift was given as a reminder to the wearer that they always had their loved one with them. |
| |
| In the past, pendants have often been worn to send messages of love or loyalty. They were used as good luck charms, a talisman, and award in the form of a medal, or in ancient times protection against evil. |
| |
| In some cultures, even those within the Western World, pendants are worn as a form of identification for certain groups of people. |
| |
| In the hip-hop culture, for example, the stars of this particular music genre and their followers wear jewellery that is significant and distinctive in it's design. Very large and often extremely expensive diamond jewellery is part of this culture, and what the hip-hop stars of today are wearing, will become the must have jewellery accessory of tomorrow. |

| Pendants from Long Ago |
| Christians wore pendants or charms call ichthys, two thousand years ago. They were stylised in the form of a fish and would be worn as either a pendant or charm. This particular design was chosen to represent the miracle of the loaves and fishes. |
| |
Many Christians chose to wear this amulet, another name for a pendant or talisman, because those who followed the Christian faith were maligned and often put to death for their beliefs.
The Romans of the time would use the Christians as entertainment by forcing them into an arena, where they would fight with lions. The followers of the Christian faith would never survive this very cruel version of Roman sport. |

| The Good Luck Charm |
| Throughout the centuries, it has been common practice in many cultures to wear pendants as good luck charms. The Egyptians wore them to establish their place in society. If the pendant was of an elaborate design, it sent a message to other Egyptians that they should be respected, and that they were higher in society, than those around them. They would also wear pendants, so that at the time of their death, their 'Gods', would realise that they should take their rightful place in the after life. |
