For Muslims, choosing a pendant is a very crucial step. The jewelry has a sacred character, pendants with Islamic symbols are worn under clothes closer to the chest, hiding from the eyes of strangers. But this does not negate the fact that the product must be made in the best jewelry traditions.
Decoration story
Pendants and pendants are the first jewelry that Muslims began to adorn themselves. Then they were assigned the role of amulets. They were given by relatives or simply people close to each other. The products were inlaid with stones having characteristic properties.
This tradition continues to this day. However, do not draw a parallel between Muslim pendants and Christian pectoral crosses. Islam does not allow one or another symbol to be endowed with sacred properties.
Gold jewelry is intended exclusively for the fair sex. Men professing Islam usually do not wear jewelry of this metal. The jewels of Islamic women are a sign of family affluence. The wife’s expensive jewelry is an indicator of her husband’s status. Therefore, Islamic pendants are rich in design and massive.
The most ancient symbol is the Muslim crescent with a star. However, these elements were endowed with a sacred meaning a long time ago among the ancient Greeks and Romans.
At first, the crescent appeared on the Byzantine symbolism. In 330 AD e. Ottoman Turks capture the capital of Byzantium - Constantinople. Later, the city began to be called Istanbul, and the crescent in combination with a star began to be associated with Muslims.
Varieties and design
One of the popular Muslim jewelry is a gold pendant, complemented by topaz.It is believed that this exquisite blue stone gives its owner energy, frees his head from bad thoughts, helps to correctly make important life decisions and avoid problems.
This mineral is intended for business women who need to be confident and establish contacts with various people. Topaz is also pink. It suits more romantic natures, encourages its owner to make pleasant things to her chosen one.
Women's silver pendants are no less beautiful than gold ones. The traditional symbol, a crescent moon with a star, can be complemented by some elements of calligraphy, ethnic ornaments or other inserts inherent in Islamic traditions.
Silver jewelry is of great value to Muslims. Such jewelry is given to brides or loved ones who wear them every day.
If you want to wear a pendant with Muslim symbols for a woman of a different faith, then you can choose an elegant and thin pendant. True, it should not be combined with decorations in other styles.
How to choose?
A decoration for a Muslim woman is a universal gift. Jewelry is never enough, and chains with pendants can be worn in any quantities. Such a gift will always please Oriental girls, even if they already have a dozen pendants in the casket.
When choosing a jewelry, one should not forget that it is worn under clothes. Therefore, it is mainly necessary to pay attention to the meaning of symbolism. It will be more valuable for a person if they present him with a suitable amulet as a gift, rather than a trinket strewn with brilliant stones.
A product made of expensive metal, with diamonds or other precious stones can be donated to a very close person. In this way, the giver will express his devotion, attention and respect. The jewelry will then be worn with special trepidation, not because of its high cost, but because it was selected for the person to deliver pleasant emotions.
