The love of pendants is in humanity's blood

The wearing of jewelry pendants is closely linked to human history. Archaeological finds from Morocco prove that shells were pierced and worn as pendants 75,000 years ago. During the Paleolithic period 50,000 years ago, jewelry was already widespread on all continents. For a long time, the materials for prehistoric pendants were limited to hunting trophies such as feathers, shells and bones, and the first stone beads were also made.

A real breakthrough then occurred around 4,000 years before the birth of Christ, when metalworking was invented in Egypt. The preferred material at this time was gold. Over the millennia, jewelry pendants were created that were valued as talismans and amulets because of their magical and mythical significance.

We modern people wear pendants and antique medallions as fashion accessories. But even today, we are still fascinated by the magic that some of these pieces exude. We marvel at the craftsmanship and imagination with which pendants were made from gold, silver or precious gemstones. And for some people, this awakens the instinct of hunters and gatherers. True lovers of antique medallions and vintage pendants are constantly on the hunt for the most beautiful pieces from different eras and styles.

There is also love at first sight with second-hand pendants and medallions

Given the variety of motifs, materials, colors and shapes in which pendants and lockets are presented, the choice is often difficult. Which piece of jewelry should you choose to make a loved one - or yourself - happy? Let yourself be inspired, in our extensive range of vintage pendants and antique lockets you are sure to find the right piece that is waiting for a second love. By buying second-hand jewelry, you are making a real contribution to sustainability, as valuable resources are saved and values are passed on. Take your time to explore our selection and listen to the stories that used pieces of jewelry tell about times gone by. You will see that even vintage jewelry pendants are love at first sight.

  • Motif pendants made of gold, silver or other precious metals are among the most popular chain pendants. Lovingly designed motifs with animals or symbols reveal details about the interests of their former and future owners. A traditional cross pendant or a classic heart pendant never goes out of fashion and is a wonderful gift idea for many occasions. Charms are currently very trendy. Several of these small, delicate motif pendants can also be worn on a narrow chain or bracelet.
  • Pearl pendants have always been popular as bridal jewelry. In addition to the natural beauties in elegant white, there are also colored variants that match different outfits. Whether freshwater cultured pearl, golden South Sea pearl, dark Tahitian pearl or Akoya pearl - each pearl is unique, making your pendant one-of-a-kind.
  • Solitaire pendants are usually larger, heavier pendants with precious gemstones, carved gems or cameos. These look particularly good on a slightly longer chain that reaches deeper into the neckline.
  • Antique lockets are carriers of secrets. In earlier eras, hinged lockets were used to carry messages of love or a lock of hair on the heart. Today, an old locket can be turned into a very individual gift, for example with a photo inside. A simple gold or silver locket is also ideal for a personal engraving.

Set the scene for your favorite pendant with the right chain length

You don't always have to put your favorite pendants and medallions on a classic necklace to show them off perfectly. Many smaller pendants are also very suitable for wearing on a bracelet, on a pin as a brooch or on an earring. You can also get creative with how you wear them - how about a colorful velvet or silk ribbon, for example, or a simple leather strap. It is important to find the right length, so we have a few tips for you.

  • Short chain: 35-40cm. This allows you to wear your pendant close to your neck, suitable for short haircuts and updos. For a comfortable length, you should allow an additional 2 to 5 cm to your neck circumference.
  • Medium-length chain: 40-50 cm. This makes your pendant or medallion an eye-catcher on the décolleté and lies just below the collarbone.
  • Long chain: 50-65cm. This length is very suitable for larger pieces of jewelry. Vintage pendants and medallions can also be worn over closed clothing.
  • Very long chain: 65 cm and more. This XXL format is best for presenting very large, eye-catching pendants.
