All About Pendants

What is a pendant?

A pendant is an accessory that adds an exquisite touch to any jewellery ensemble. Often mistaken as the entirety of a piece of jewellery, the pendant refers specifically to the metal component that holds the stone or decorative element.

It is the centerpiece that dangles gracefully from a chain or necklace, creating a focal point that draws attention and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. The pendant serves as the focal point, showcasing the beauty of the stone or design, and elevating your style with it’s allure.

Pendant Vs Necklace

Both a pendant and a necklace can be worn around the neck, but they are different pieces of jewellery. A necklace is a piece of jewellery that goes around your neck, but a pendant is a component of jewellery (such as a heart shaped diamond) that can be attached to a necklace chain, bracelet or anklet.

You can wear a pendant on any part of your body by hanging it on a chain, while a necklace is only worn on your neck.
