Since time immemorial, people have had a fascination for the zodiac signs and zodiac pendants, despite other zodiac items presented along with them! The zodiac signs can be seen in various art forms, on jewelry, walls and some landmarks. This indicates that it is an ancient wisdom passed on from generations. This symbolic wisdom lets you know something about the bearer of a particular zodiac sign---his/her personality traits, the good and bad omens, what the future heralds and so on. It also indicates what would happen if sign bearer wears the zodiac pendant. This zodiac sign need not be found on a necklace with a pendant attached to it. The bearer can have it impressed in a ring or get it needlepointed on a pillow; sketch the sign on a poster or even paint it on an air freshener in a car.
As a youngster, I once received a gift from my mother--a cigarette lighter depicting the zodiac sign of Leo. My mother had only seen the Leo on the hatch and had explored no further! She knew that her teenage daughter smoked a lot. Of course, she was not happy about it, but did gift me that lighter. The picture was blatantly sexual, involving a man and a woman. If only my mother had seen a zodiac pendant at the shop, she would have opted for that rather than the cigarette lighter!
Sites like eBay offer beautiful zodiac jewelry at affordable prices. Everything is accessible online. One such piece that appealed to me was a silver chain that was about 16 to 18 inches in length. The pendant that was attached to it was one-inch long and had a good carving on it. The lion's head with its flowing mane encrusted with a few cubic zirconia captured my attention. The chain was of a metal that I like--silver--and was of the zodiac sign, Leo. So I purchased it for a hundred dollars.
There is another necklace with a pendant which does not show the lion, but a picture of the zodiac sign itself. Of course, this is for Leons too! The picture represents an upside down "U" with a curlicue shown near each leg. Other pieces of jewelry with other zodiac signs are equally lovely.
On ebay, which will be different once I stop writing and you start searching, of course, there are hundreds of choices, including those in 3-d with inlaid turquoise, those that are like tiny plaques, and those that emphasize the name of the sign or leave the sign name out and focus on the material-the silver, gold, or copper or leather. The prices range from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, and the options-if you catch them in time before bidding ends-include different sizes, shapes, inscriptions, and information. If you look closely, you might even find one of the 1970s classics-with the designated sexual position. Then again, you may opt to steer clear of the classics and stay safely within the realm of the elements, the icons, and the astrological traits more suited to you and yours. - 15252
