In other words, they are arranged according to size from large to small. This symbolic arrangement of stones can signify the start of your journey together, or a reminder of the journey so far.
For a couple who is dating or has recently become engaged, a journey necklace is a symbol of the beginning of a your life together, and that you’re ready to take this journey together, for better or for worse. The graduated diamonds represent that journey – starting small and building.
For a married couples, or those that have been together for many years, a journey pendant is a loving reminder of the times you’ve had together, the paths you’ve already traveled – and the journey yet to come. The graduated diamonds symbolize how your love has grown and will continue to grow over the years.
The original and simplest form can be found in an ‘S’ shaped pendant, with the largest stone at the top and the smallest at the bottom. This simple shape symbolizes the winding road through a relationship, with all its twists and turns.
A heart shaped pendant is also a popular design. The graduated stones are usually set on one side of the heart, although it’s not uncommon to have them encircle the whole heart. The heart shape is a beautiful way to express both your love and the journey that you’ve taken together.
Another very popular design is the diamond circle pendant. A circle is a beautiful choice, as it symbolizes eternity and a love with no end. A diamond circle journey pendant means that your love will continue to grow throughout eternity.
Whichever design you choose, you can be assured that the woman in your life will cherish the gift of a journey pendant.
