Description
This pendant takes the form of a teardrop, a shape that has long held meaning in the craft of jewelry making. Across many cultures, the teardrop symbolizes water,source of life,and carries connotations of renewal and protection. The pendant hangs from a 20″ Figaro chain, recognized by its repeating pattern of two or three small round links followed by one elongated oval link. This chain style, while popularized in the early 1900s, echoes link patterns that blacksmiths and chain makers have fashioned for centuries. The chain fastens with a lobster claw clasp, a practical mechanism favored by metalworkers for its secure hold and straightforward operation. Measuring about 1-1/2″ by 1″, the pendant strikes a balance between subtlety and presence. Fun fact: In some ancient cultures, teardrop-shaped pendants were believed to catch the tears of the gods, granting the wearer protection and blessings.
