When You Wear a Zodiac Pendant - Your Are Saying, I Am “One of a Kind

without comments

Since time immemorial, people have had a fascination for the zodiac signs and zodiac pendants, despite other zodiac items presented along with them! The zodiac signs can be seen in various art forms, on jewelry, walls and some landmarks. This indicates that it is an ancient wisdom passed on from generations. This symbolic wisdom lets you know something about the bearer of a particular zodiac sign—his/her personality traits, the good and bad omens, what the future heralds and so on. It also indicates what would happen if sign bearer wears the zodiac pendant. This zodiac sign need not be found on a necklace with a pendant attached to it. The bearer can have it impressed in a ring or get it needlepointed on a pillow; sketch the sign on a poster or even paint it on an air freshener in a car.

During my “smoking days” as a teenager, my mother who condoned this habit in her daughter, decided to gift me something. She presented me with a cigarette lighter. She had not been able to get a pendant with my zodiac sign, Leo on it–so had opted for this, seeing Leo engraved on the hatch. She had not observed that the picture on the lighter represented the sexual position of a Leo couple! If a pendant had been present at the shop, the lighter would have never reached my hands!

But, since this piece of writing is full of digressions enough, I digress. Instead, I feel compelled to comment on the beautiful zodiac jewelry I found online, and on the zodiac pendants that are available and accessible and affordable at sites such as ebay, et. al.. On a 16 or 18 inch silver chain and costing a little over 100 bucks, a one-inch Leo zodiac pendant appeals to me greatly. It is silver, my preferred metal, and it is somewhat understated yet creatively rendered-it is a lion’s head with a flowing mane that is encrusted with a few cubic zirconia.

There is another necklace with a pendant which does not show the lion, but a picture of the zodiac sign itself. Of course, this is for Leons too! The picture represents an upside down “U” with a curlicue shown near each leg. Other pieces of jewelry with other zodiac signs are equally lovely.

On ebay, which will be different once I stop writing and you start searching, of course, there are hundreds of choices, including those in 3-d with inlaid turquoise, those that are like tiny plaques, and those that emphasize the name of the sign or leave the sign name out and focus on the material-the silver, gold, or copper or leather. The prices range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, and the options-if you catch them in time before bidding ends-include different sizes, shapes, inscriptions, and information. If you look closely, you might even find one of the 1970s classics-with the designated sexual position. Then again, you may opt to steer clear of the classics and stay safely within the realm of the elements, the icons, and the astrological traits more suited to you and yours.
