Pendants Are Not Magical But They Can Create Illusions. I suppose I always knew this but I recently discovered why. It was at a restaurant when I came to the realization that pendants do hold a certain power. Perhaps not a power, but a definite influence. I had just decided what I would order when I noticed a couple enter the restaurant. Or rather, her. She had completely captured my attention. It was the area directly below her chest that drew my eyes. Amidst a colorful pattern of delicate pinks and purples, she had two matching pendants that completely took my attention.

Her date followed perhaps a bit too closely. No doubt he did not want to take a chance that another might stop her. It was easy to see that he was proud to be at her side. She did have presence. He passed but it was her image I kept in my memory. Everything about her was perfectly in place. The complete outfit matched perfectly. Each piece of clothing and jewelry was tasteful and stylish. She was a lovely vision in shades of purple and pink.

I remember thinking how flawless her outfit was. It was nothing overly expensive but the look was so refined and elegant. She must have spent weeks preparing that ensemble.

Not only did she put together a perfect outfit, but she had done it in the hardest combination of colors. Purples and pinks are not easy to work with. Most women would never even try. Yet, this woman had completely pulled it off. She pulled off something else too, but I was not sure what.

Was it her confidence? No. It was something to do with her jewelry. I thought about the image of her again and how striking those necklaces were. I thought of her skillful coordinating ability and then I knew. The woman had a gift.

I had noticed that her facial features were not perfect. I also noticed that this tall lady had a slightly bulging tummy. Okay, more than slightly. It was not overly big, but past the point of disguising it with clothing. This clever woman had worn her brilliant neck chains suspended exactly at the precise location that would distract an observing gaze away from her tummy! Also, the eyes would not be drawn to her height or face.

She had kept me from realizing her true height, and she had kept me from noticing her belly! She had used the pendants as a clever ornament to present her package. What a terrific secret. Are these the powers of the pendant?
