What Gemstone Pendants Symbolize
Gemstones all have their own meanings, but did you know that crystals’ shapes also carry meaning? The form of a pendant has been used for centuries, very often as a measure of protection. We also wear lockets with pictures of loved ones, leading many to believe that pendants have symbolic properties because of their place near our hearts.

Points help bring about harmony and enhance spirituality.
