I definitely thought the description of the eye on the pendant Agent P was wearing was meant to be a connection to his family crest. The phoenix wasn't part of the original crest, but judging from Pendergast's own knowledge of his family's dark history, I could see him refashioning a new family crest to represent a rebirth, and him carrying that new responsibility of righting the family's wrongs. We've seen plenty of things that he's already doing -- he used some of his family's dubious fortune to put Corrie into a private school, fixed up the old CoC house to make it a resource for his case needs, and he's helping to adjust Constance to (somewhat) current times.

Pendergast describes his family's dabbling in magic, and how every generation has had some sort of involvement in that particular art. While I think Agent Pendergast is more about sleight-of-hand trickery, I could see the eye on the family crest having the old-world mystic connection to the Evil Eye -- or the warding-off of such a thing, I should say. Or, who knows -- maybe they're all Freemasons. I'm not sure what the three spheres could mean. I thought maybe it had some sort of connection to alchemy -- representing the three dimensions? I've seen alchemy-related woodcuts representing elements captured within spheres. Probably not even that arcane -- could easily represent the number of generations that had been around when the crest was created.

Either way, I thought it was a cool little detail. And what a keen piece of jewelry that would make!
