The pendant is any hanging object usually fixed to a necklace. Pendants are worn primarily for ornamentation but also for identification – sexual or religious symbols.

Pendants serve the purpose of amulets to ward off evil and bring down blessings. But the most important function covering all other provisions is that of being an ornament from time immemorial.

The stone in the three stone pendant is a gem that may be precious or semi precious. It is a beautiful piece of mineral which is excellent for fashioning into jewellery when is cut and polished.

Stones are valued not only for their beauty and rarity but also for their astrological value. Three stone pendants are very popular primarily because of the significance of the number three.

In different cultures there are various ancient interpretations but more or less all the different streams agree on the importance of the number three.

The human physique consists of mind, body and spirit. Three unites the trio. Three represents good forces. There are no three legged demonic creatures in creation.

The most popular interpretations of three is that it stands for the past, present and future. It is this that has made three stone pendants the cornerstone of the jewellery trade.

Some three stone pendants are available over the counter while many are customized and made as per the orders of the customer. The pendants may be of three stones – the most popular three stone pendants being crafted from red, blue and green gems.

The ruby is red – red standing for physical matter and its association with earth, blood and passion. Jade is green. Green represents growth – growth of man, beast and plant as also the spiritual growth of mankind.

Blue is the stone for spirituality and can be found in the lapis lazuli gem.

The latter is a fine blue stone dusted with golden specks. The sky is blue and that is where the mind and soul must aspire to reach and understand.

Three stone pendants are not always crafted out of three different types of stone but can be three kinds of the same stone. One necklace has diamond pendants dropping down from the gold necklace in three different sizes.

Another pendant is a single golden heart with three diamonds set on it. Three stones can be set on a triangle also. Another unique design is three ring pendants each sporting a diamond inner pendant. It is a never ending story of various three stone pendants.
