Pendant Necklace

I just love pendant necklaces. I mean, I love jewelery of all kind, but there is, to me, nothing that is much better than the perfect pendant necklace. It isn't the sparkle, the shimmer or the glimmer. Very often, I am quite taken by a pendant necklace that is rather plain and tarnished. I stay away from sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds whenever I can, so it is not a matter of being taken away by shiny things. I haven't even the money for such bling bling. No, what I like best is a pendant necklace that looks unique, that has a character and a story all of its own.

My favorite pendant necklace actually did not begin life as pendant jewelery at all, but as something that was quite different. IT is actually made up of a piece of pewter, a decorative figure that I used to have on my mantle piece. It depicts a wizard, but not your normal wizard from a pewter collection. This pendant necklace doesn't have a long beard, a straight cap, and long flowing robes at all, nor does it have a red stone inset in the staff that the wizard carries. Instead, it is a much more whimsical pendant necklace.

The only way that you can tell that he is a wizard at all is that he holds a staff inscribed with imaginary runes. At the end of my pendant necklace hangs a quite extraordinary character, with a big floppy hat with a puff ball at the end, chubby cheeks, and a friendly smile. There is something about him that makes him look almost like someone you know, and people are always asking me about him. That is what I like most of all, a pendant necklace that draws attention to you, not for appearing to be ostentatious, or glamorous, but because it is unusual and interesting.

It is easy to make your own pendant necklace, although most people do seem to preserve to buy them. With a little ingenuity, almost any miniature at all can be made into a pendant necklace. You might have to solder a bit, and learn something about bending and shaping wire, but there is rarely much required to make your pendant necklaces. Simple patience and a desire to learn about how to make jewelery will already get you half way there, before you even start your first necklace!
