the eagle pendant again

Do you remember the pendant below, on the left, and the entry I posted about it some weeks ago? And do you remember the new pendant Shoon was wearing on the February magazines? (the 2 small pics)


Well, I'm 98,5% sure now that it's the same pendant, or a very similar version of it, like this one:


Why? Well... Remember this other oval-shaped pendant he used to wear not so long ago?


I had always wondered what on earth that was. Until today.


Does that design ring a bell? It's an eagle with its wings sticking close to its body, a sun shining on its back, and a small shape of an eagle inside it. All these are from the same jewelry line, just like this other pendant Shoon used to wear recently too:


I really can't wait to see a clear picture of Shoon's new pendant -hopefully in the March magazines?

PS: These pendants belong to a jewelry line inspired in the designs of the Hopi Indians. The reason for the eagle inside the sun is that the Indians thought there was a close connection between eagles and the sun. They believed eagles were the only animals capable of looking directly at the sun, and considered eagles as a symbol of wisdom and leadership and their feathers a symbol of peace and friendship. It was also said that God had chosen the eagle as his messenger and that the eagle carried the prayers of humans to him.
