Common types of religious jewelry

The ankh and the scarab as well as the snake and the symbol of the eye were all worn as religious jewelry. Each symbol held a specific meaning in their belief system or provided some form of protection for the wearer. Here we will list some types of religious jewelry.
The most recognizable religious jewelry is the cross. This is the ultimate symbol of Christianity, the obvious significance being that Jesus died on the cross for their sins. Because of this reason, cross charms are a popular way to exhibit their faith and gratitude.
As for Catholic jewelry, the rosary with a "Y" shape to it is classic, but you can create this style for any faith. Rosary beads are typically glass or crystal, but you can choose any beads that are meaningful to you. String beads onto small pieces of wire, creating a loop on each end with the round nose pliers. Attach the links together using wire jump rings and the clasp or closure that you chose. Once you create the basic necklace, create the rosary look by adding a tail in the front, and hang the pendant from the bottom of the chain.
Another popular Christian jewelry symbol is the fish. Fish dates back to the first century and became a way of identifying other Christians, particularly when they were being persecuted. It was dangerous to speak openly about their faith. Back then, they would draw the fish symbol in the dirt to let others know. Today, Christians proudly wear their fish religious jewelry to let everyone know their faith.
Mezuzah is a common symbol found in Jewish jewelry. Commonly worn as a pendant, a mezuzah is a cylindrical object that is used to hold special words and scriptures on parchment scrolls. These make beautiful pendants or even a charm for a bracelet.
