It was not fashion or style, but religious beliefs among people that guided them to wear chaplets with single stones. The earliest pendants were inspired from the True Cross that is derived from the Christian religion. Women being sentimental creatures generally preferred to wear objects with an emotional message or relevance. The habit continues even today as several designers design their products keeping in view the tender and emotive nature of females.
