I had to look up this pendant and what it means and it symbolizes "protection" in many different religions and cultures. Gorgeous! It will (hopefully) make a great gift for my boyfriend for the holidays, as if I haven't spoiled him enough already, but I didn't get him any jewelry, even though I just make him a new pendant!! I like to spoil the ones who protect and watch over me during the holidays though!! That's how I celebrate. :)
