To protect themselves from otherworldly forces and various troubles, the ancient pagans hung a pebble around their necks, endowed, in their opinion, with sacral meaning. The item must be placed on a strip of animal skin.

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

In the XV — XVI centuries, pendants with a secret appeared. The stone was cut in half, and as a result, something similar to a shell with a cavity inside was obtained. Poison was poured into it. Deadly liquid most often poisoned those close to the royal family of loyal subjects and the kings themselves.

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

Especially the navigators cherished such attributes. In the pendants they hid photos of wives, children, their hair. These jewels became the only reminder of a native home during distant travels across the expanses of seas and oceans.
