Many people wear a necklace or other piece of jewellery as a symbol of their faith/beliefs. If you have symbolic religious necklace or whatever jewellery that you wear every day or nearly every day - what is it, and how does it symbolise your religion to you?

Haha oh my, where to start? Well...while I have SEVERAL special charms, amulets, talismans, pendants that are often interchanged depending on the day, event, mood, ritual etc...at the MOMENT I am only wearing my Melusine amulet which I charged with her Dragon Power for protection and some other specific purposes. It is a little silver charm of a two-finned, winged mermaid, representing the legendary water fairy Melusine. Mermaids are a very important part of my magical and spiritual practice and I work with a trio of mermaid goddesses - Atargatis (Syrian, the first known mermaid), Melusine, and Liban, the famous mermaid of Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, who was related to the Tuatha De Danaan.

I don't normally wear a necklace (always wear my pentacle silver ring) but if I do I wear this on a cotton cord.

I wear a Triple Goddess (three stages of the moon with moonstone) necklace and a silver Pentagram ring.  To me, they represent my commitment to my beliefs and my craft.  I occasionally wear a cross to symbolize my Christian beliefs as well.

I sometimes wear a Star of David as a pendant--this is the most recent one.

I have also lately started wearing rings every day as a symbol of my devotion to a Mystery goddess related to Ariadne--this steel ring with a Greek key design, and, more recently, this more complex one.

I always wear a set of crystals. The one around my neck is black kyanite in copper. It's almost all I need but I've been fond of reinforcing my energies by also placing in my pockets a silver & lapis lazuli charm & when I really need help I have a stainless steel & silver prayer bead/necklace (and I move the kyanite to the left side of the body as this creates a beautiful filter against negativity.) Lately I've left that one for my altar & Goddess since I sometimes feel dull after wearing it. The other stone I always carry with me is my charoite sphere. I call it my wish-fulfilling gem lol.

I wear a labrys, which is a double bladed axe. It is used as a symbol of Paganism in Greece, as well as by heavy metal fans (so really it's a lot like a pentacle in Britain/America). Upright (blades towards the top) it was used as a symbol of order by the Romans, and my labrys is the other way up, symbolising my connection with Chaos Magick. Its shape vaguely reminds me of a cross, so it's a tiny nod to my Christian origins. It is also similar to a Thor's Hammer, which is a connection I like as well. Lastly, it's a symbol of my sexuality.

Over to you!

I wear mostly what fits my identity, a symbol I feel connected with.
When I was info Celtic stuff I had a lot of Celtic pendants. Since few years I wear a little  Phaistos disc. I love it because I like languages. It fits who I am, juist like the Celtic stuff a few years ago.

These days I wear a small iron Thor's hammer, which is obviously for my Heathenry, and the iron makes me feel protected from bad vibes.

I also have a blown glass pendant that looks like space for Heimdall, and I'm getting an enamel pin of a bear for Veles. I feel weird mixing pantheons, and all my Heathen stuff is jewelry, so I thought a pin would be appropriate.

I usually have my silver ring on the right hand.  It's pretty simple, just been blessed to ward off unwanted spirits.  If I'm working, silver cuff links that have a simple feather on them - to represent both Ma'at and Anubis.  Lastly my pocket watch which has a simple pentagram on the back.

It isn't quite the same kind of thing that others have mentioned in the thread, but I have a pendant which features an imitation of a kind of petroglyph found in certain places in the coast of Galicia, which resembles a labyrinth. The original petroglyps are from the Bronze Age, probably pre-Celtic, and I think we have no idea what they mean. But prehistoric art is fascinating to me.

I wear a pewter raven skull in honor of The Morrigan. For the most part, I do wear it every day, but the fabric cord it is on is just tied to make a slip knot choker and it's starting to break. Time for a new cord. I also have a genuine Norwegian 10 ore from 1954 that has past life meaning to me. I wanted an H7 coin to wear every day and I am very excited to have it. Not so much religion based, but still very important to me.

I have been thinking about getting something related to Sumerian tradition out of personal interest, but I don't know what or how.

I've also thought the same about Finnish/Sami/Uralic stuff, but I'm none of those things and I feel weird about it.

I wear a hemitate crystal necklace. I love it and it symbolizes my Goddess and healing.

If we are talking about rings, I have a silver ring with the Inca cosmological animals engraved upon it; the Condor, the Jaguar, and the Serpent. I don't mix Inca beliefs into my path, I have studied them, and spent time living in Peru, and I am pantheistic, so I view them as being legitimate, empowered, holy symbols. In face, I view the crucifix and Star of David the same way.
