Diamond and Precious Metal Pendants for Every Occasion

Pendants have always been a fun and a different way for women to wear their fine jewelry. No woman’s jewelry box is complete without a fashion pendant or two. You can never have too many. These necklaces can be appropriate for every season, every occasion, and every celebration. Take Sundays spent at church with family and fellow worshippers. Many women wear their love for family and church close to their hearts with religious lockets.

These stunning lockets can be gold, silver, and even platinum. They can be simple and plain, have a cross etched into the precious metal, or even have a sacred Bible verse inscribed on the back. Within the locket, you can carry a picture of your dear family. These make for the perfect Christmas gifts for all of the worshipping and family-loving women in your life.

Speaking of gifts, diamond pendants make incredible anniversary gifts for the woman you love. You’ve never celebrated an anniversary as exciting and fun as one when you give diamonds! A stunning solitaire diamond will make any woman jump for joy. A multi-carat journey pendant will make her want to marry you all over again!

Cameo Lockets: Memories of Days Gone By

Growing up I didn’t know my grandparents. The last of them passed away when I was a baby. By the time I turned four, my parents had divorced and my mother later married my stepfather. With this addition to the family came the two most wonderful step-grandparents in the world.

They lived far away from us, but I would spend my summers and Christmas with them. We were very close. When I was fourteen, my grandmother passed away. She lived a really good and long life, but this didn’t prevent me from being very distraught. I felt as if she had been taken from me unjustly. My grandfather was very much still in love and felt the same way. He used to say he was waiting to join her. Not long after her passing, he did. After the estate was squared away according to his will, I went to visit my stepfather. He had kept quite a bit of his dear mother’s possessions and offered me my choice of the precious trinkets. There were several things that caught my eye, including her pearl necklace and an amethyst pendant, but the one thing that really grabbed my attention was a cameo locket she had worn often. I picked it up and examined her once favorite piece of jewelry.

As I looked at my grandmother’s cameo closely, I opened it to reveal an old photo of my grandfather as a young man. There was no longer any question; I wanted the same cameo locket that had rested next to my grandmother’s heart to rest next to mine. I have had this cameo necklace for 20 years now and it still is my most prized possession.
