Muslim pendants for men

In our area, wearing jewelry is a woman’s prerogative. But where the reins of human destiny are entrusted to Allah, both men and women wear jewelry. Muslim pendants for men come in different shapes, sizes and symbolism. They are made from the most diverse types of metal, ranging from expensive and precious, to simple and low cost.

It is noteworthy that Muslims wear jewelry not only for decorative purposes. Sometimes they impose on them a special mission, using as a talisman. Sometimes pendants identify a person’s religion. So, if the Christian symbol is a crucifix with the image of Jesus Christ, then for Muslims it is a crescent with a star.

The traditional Muslim symbol in the form of a crescent is often depicted in interlacing with a star. This star itself is five-pointed and symbolizes the five main Islamic prayers. But the crescent, in this case, identifies the Islamic calendar.

It is surprising, but the crescent with a star began to be used as symbolism long before the appearance of Islam itself. It was considered by residents of Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul. Today, this symbol is depicted on pendants along with the Mosque.

It is worth considering that the crescent with a star in the Muslim religion is not an analogue of the crucifixion in the Christian. The fact is that the Islamic religion prohibits the erection of anyone, let alone Allah. It is customary to think that the image of idols prevents the installation of monotheism, and therefore it is a sin to depict Allah on ornaments or paintings.

In Muslim countries, gold is cheap, so it is most often used to create jewelry. Pendants and pendants are created from yellow, white and pink gold, perfectly combining with different types of precious stones.

Often, when creating pendants, gold alternates with silver, creating very attractive combinations. By the way, in men's circles it is customary to wear pendants made of silver and gold in the form of a sketch of Eastern countries or Islamic symbols.

Pure silver is used to create pendants as often as gold. Such pendants look very stylish and unobtrusive at the same time. Silver pendants are often made with engraving or any pattern. Often they differ in an interesting form. Men appreciate this noble metal for its external brevity.

Islamic men as a talisman prefer to wear a pendant in the form of the main Islamic symbol - a crescent. Despite the fact that this symbol has been central to Muslims for several centuries, no one still knows exactly what it symbolizes. Some scholars argue that the month is depicted as an illuminator of the path, and some associate it with the Greek goddess, Artemis.

Islamic pendants for women are usually decorated with bright gems. Among them are garnet, carnelian, agate, malachite. Such pendants look very catchy, therefore they are an ideal addition to any Islamic dress. Often, girls give pendants with stones a sacred meaning.

So, girls wear topaz framed in gold in order to rid themselves of anxiety and make their thoughts clean. It is interesting that blue and pink topazes have become popular among women.The first is usually chosen by business women who want to build relationships with partners. Pink topaz is more to the liking of young and romantic natures, who value beauty in jewelry first of all.

Unlike women's pendants, men's pendants look more restrained. They are not complemented by stones. Often they are covered with traditional Islamic prayers and suras.

Typically, pendants for men differ in a clear form: square or round. But men wear their pendants exclusively around their necks, complementing the chain, while women can wear them even on bracelets.

The pendant is presented to the man as a gift from friendly motives or as a deep symbol of respect.

It is curious that giving gifts incognito among Muslims is not accepted. Usually they prepare a small speech, which is delivered to the public or to a person personally. Often left a note with best wishes, which a person must keep in memory.
