Pagan Jewelry

What do you think of when you hear the word “pagan jewelry?” Most people picture pentagram symbols and gothic teenagers, but while these elements certainly have a presence when it comes to pagan jewelry, there is actually much more to it than that. There are a wide variety of different styles within the realm of pagan jewelry, but all of these different styles have one overriding thing in common; the pieces of jewelry all represent in some way, shape or form an aspect of a pagan religious practice or belief. That does not mean all people who wear pagan jewelry are pagans, however. Jewelry designs inspired by pagan beliefs have crossed over the mainstream, and many people who wear this kind of jewelry are unaware of its symbolic meanings.

Types Of Pagan Jewelry

People who follow a pagan faith do not believe in a god in the traditional sense. Rather, they look to nature and the sun and the moon as the controllers of the universe; some pagans worship nature and the moon (or the moon goddess) as more traditional religions worship God. Many pagans also practice magic. Pagan jewelry is steeped in the symbolism of the pagan faith. Some popular pendants or charms you are likely to see on pagan jewelry include healing crystals, the ankh symbol, triple suns, pentagrams, crescent moons, the phases of the moon, celestial spirits, the moon goddess, and dragons. Some pagan jewelry pendants are actually oil bottles for people to carry their healing oils and potions in. Most pagan jewelry is wire pagan jewelry or silver jewelry, but you can find some gold pagan jewelry.

Because there are different kinds of pagans, there are many different kinds of pagan jewelry. Most pagan jewelry is pagan Wicca jewelry or Celtic pagan jewelry, but you it is possible to find jewelry inspired by other schools of pagan faith.
