Buy Beautiful Lightning Bolt Pendants!

There’s something about the lightning bolt and people’s fascination with it that makes lightning bolt pendants so popular.

From David Bowie’s Starman days to Lady Gaga’s The Fame stars have been paying homage to the lightning bolt in fashion.

Lightning bolt jewelry looks good in either silver or gold which means that anyone can wear it and look good in it.

The zigzag design is instantly recognizable as a lightning bolt and I think people are just attracted to the amount of energy that’s contained within lightning. Personally I love watching a lightning storm in the sky – it really is fascinating.

Lightning Bolt Pendants Make Great Gifts Too!

Lightning bolts don’t just attract people because of the energy contained within them, but also because as far back as the Ancient Greeks they’ve been seen as a symbol of power. Lightning bolts were always associated with the all powerful god Zeus. Since then other cultures have also held lightning bolts up as symbols of power.

Being seen as a symbol of power means that lightning bolts also have a dark past with Nazi's using the symbol for their SS.

Lightning bolts have also been seen as a symbol of salvation and fertility or the life force.

In recent times we’ve also seen lightning bolts occur in pop culture, as I’ve already mention both David Bowie and Lady Gaga have sported lightning bolts. Also in the movies Harry Potter sports a scar shaped like a lightning bolt.

Lightning bolts can give your outfit a bit of a spark and really set your look a-light! With those two terrible puns I think I’ll leave you to try and decide between these three gorgeous pendants.

Silver Dragonfly Pendants

Are you looking for silver dragonfly pendants? You've come to the right place as I've found a great collection of silver dragonfly pendants that can be purchased with a click from the comfort of you own home.

I love silver pendants and dragonflies are pretty special creatures – did you know that they were on this earth even before dinosaurs? I think that’s a pretty amazing thought.

Dragonfly jewelry first became popular during the Art Nouveau period that started in the Victorian era and continued into Edwardian times. The dragonfly jewelry that was popularized then was enameled dragonfly jewelry pieces including lovely brooches that you can still find around if you look carefully.

Moving into the 21st century and I think it's time for the silver dragonfly pendants to enjoy a heyday similar to their predecessors - let's face it what's not to like about them. Let's have a look and see what pendants are available online for you to enjoy....

Dragonfly lore is totally different in different parts of the world, some cultures believe that these beautiful insects are somewhat sinister. These people probably wouldn't want to wear one of these gorgeous pendants.

I personally prefer the cultures that feel a dragonfly landing on you will bring good luck…..now I haven’t had any ‘actual’ dragonflies land on me, but would a pendant have the same effect? I'd like to think so - it's a great excuse to purchase one just to see anyway!

In Japan a dragonfly symbolizes marital success which makes a dragonfly pendant a beautiful anniversary present or a 'just because you’re you' gift.

Of course giving a dragonfly pendant as an anniversary gift would be very special, but you could always give it as a gift on Valentine's Day. Think of it as an 'even though we've been married for xx years, you're still my Valentine' type of gift.

I would love a silver dragonfly pendant as a gift for any kind of occasion - there are a number of quite different designs as you can see from the selection on offer so even though I have one already there's always room for more!

Emerald Pendants

The easiest emerald gift to buy for someone has to be a pendant, you don’t have to worry about sizes as you would with a ring, you don’t have to worry about what type of ear-rings they can wear.   Not everyone likes bracelets so a pendant is a great idea for giving someone emeralds.

As I’ve said before I’m a May born girl so I’m predisposed to love emeralds and I’ve selected a few that I would love to open on my birthday. There are so many different types of designs that seem to suit emeralds so well from a funky emerald peace sign to a gorgeous emerald slide pendant.

Let's have a look at some of the emerald pendants that I like.

Natural Pear Shaped Green Emerald and Diamond Solitaire Pendant Necklace 14K White GoldCheck Price

This vivid green pear drop emerald reminds me of the huge pear drop emerald ear rings Angelina Jolie wore on the red carpet. The emerald almost seems to have formed a droplet underneath 3 round diamonds - a dazzling statement piece of jewelry.

Slide pendants always fascinate me as it looks like the stone (in this case a 3mm emerald) is just suspended on the necklace. Another statement piece of jewelry.

The emeralds on this pendant are created, but I would have loved this pendant when I was a teen - it's really funky. If you have a teen who's busy spouting off about peace (don't they all go through that stage??!!) then this is available in all of the different birthstones, not just emeralds.

There are lots of different pendants that I like, but unfortunately my favorite is no longer available which is a good reminder to myself to buy something when I first see it and not hang around for too long!   If neither of these cool necklaces appeal to you then you might want to check out another post I've done which includes some more gorgeous emerald pendants - Emerald Jewelry.

P is for Pendants

As I work my way through the alphabet as part of the April A-Z Blogging Challenge I come inevitably to the letter P and with my penchant for jewelry I just have to choose pendants.   As long time readers will know I love jewelry, but pendants have to be one of my favorite forms of jewelry and are especially great gift ideas.

Pendants are a great gift idea and you can find all different styles of pendant to choose from.   At the moment though I'm going to talk about pendants from Zazzle.   Zazzle is a print on demand company that you may or may not be aware of and since late last year they also produce pendants.

This pendant is of the Lady on the Rock, a statue that stands at the entrance of the Whakatane harbour and people who live in Whakatane usually go down to 'the heads' (as they call the entrance to the harbour) every day which makes it a special site.   We haven't lived in Whakatane for over 10 years and yet we have a picture of the Lady on the Rock gracing our lounge as do many of our friends who also hail from there.   This pendant was made with one of them in mind and was a very cherished gift for them - it's rarely taken off in fact!

If you have a special place that lives in your heart even when you're miles away then you can make your own pendant (the pendants can be round or square) to wear.

I have also seen people put photos of their pets and loved ones onto pendants and I think they make a great gift idea for someone.

Other ideas include using artwork that depicts many things from flowers to gothic designs and from animals to  seasonal designs, I have a selection of different pendants available at Unique Silver Necklaces.   I'll leave you with a design that a lot of people seem to like, my pink and white swirl pendant -
