These pendants come from a simple habit you see again and again in court portraiture: the badge sits at the centre of the chest and it tells you who the character is. Here the focus is on chivalric orders that appear most often in European iconography, with the Order of the Golden Fleece, founded in 1430, as the key reference, and emblems such as the Order of the Holy Spirit, founded in 1578. They are not just decorative pieces, they are worn as identifiers. This selection stays close to that idea, so the pendant reads well from a distance and the detail rewards a closer look.

What changes the result is the height. If you keep it closer to the neck with a more formal outfit it looks strong and deliberate. If you wear it lower on a long chain or cord it shifts the character in a different direction, more like a long badge. If you want to push the look further, the natural companion is a chain of office. If you prefer to keep it quieter, a ring adds enough without competing.
