Pendant


The word pendant derives from the Latin word "pendere", and Old French word "pendre", both of which translate to "to hang down". It comes in the form of a loose-hanging piece of jewellery, generally attached by a small loop to a necklace, which may be known as a "pendant necklace". A pendant earring is an earring with a piece hanging down. In modern French "pendant" is the gerund form of “hanging” (also meaning “during”).Due to the extent to which the design of a pendant can be incorporated into an overall necklace it isn't always accurate to treat them as separate items. In some case though the separation between necklace and pendant is far clearer.

One of the earliest types of bodily adornment is a pendant, (a hanging ornament, as an earring or the main piece suspended from a necklace.) Attractive rocks Shells and other indigenous materials were used. In Ancient Egypt, Pharaohs normally wore scarab beetle pendants to symbolize their wealth and power. Royalty and nobility in Ancient Egypt also wore a certain type of pendant called a cartouche.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    The Endless Spheres

    by: Penitent

    I walk among the withered graves
    Through the corridors of time
    Halls cast in iron and stone.
    I speak through the darkness of my soul,
    I see a flame flickering in a distant corner
    Like the beacon among the stars,
    upon the nightblue sky
    Far away on tracks unveiled
    Beyond the treasures of history
    Whispering to me... as the wind among the trees
    With the tone of the soft, complaining flute
    Thine eyes mirrored in chaos
    Exposing thy very self
    In the night I shall come to you
    An image by your thoughts created.
    A child born in thy mind
    Created by the illusions of life
    So far away from reality
    All are forsaken
    Take a step through the mirrored halls
    The corridors of time.
    Voices echoing
    From the walls screaming
    Telling tales lost in time
    Tormention in ages we dimly remember
    A distant light shimmering
    As one walk through the catacombs
    Into the endless spheres
    The rays enlightening the void of life
    Echoing voices in the dark
    Oh How the wounded cries
    Twisted voices never fade
    Resounding through eternity
    No describing words
    Into the endless spheres we float
    Entranced by the beauty of the tormented spirits
