Pendants have always been worn. First amulets, they then took a more ornamental function, and exist of different types :

• the crosses: perhaps the most known and worn ancient pendant, exist since the dawn of time declined in different sizes and aspects. The ancient cross has beyond the religious aspect an ornamental function. They can be set with precious stones, pearls, enamel and other precious materials.
•  Medals had and still have a religious function. More or less worked according to the times, often engraved on the back, the old medals take back the first name and the date of birth of the being to which it is offered.
• Antique medallions are becoming more and more popular. These antique pendants are often round or oval in shape and can be opened to hide a memory of a loved one - a lock of hair, a piece of cloth or, more recently, photos worn on the chest, close to the heart. Too often damaged or destroyed, this type of antique pendant is becoming rare and increasingly sought after.
