Overview:
What is a pendant necklace?
A pendant necklace is a stunning addition to your wardrobe that will elevate your look in seconds. Pendants are an accessory that are crafted in metal and can be embellished with gemstones or designs that are made to be threaded onto a necklace chain. They come in a variety of different shapes and sizes to suit every style, occasion and desire from large statement-making pieces to subtle and dainty hints.
Pendants are a popular accessory for both men and women alike, and have been loved for centuries across many cultures and parts of the world. While pendant necklaces often have a symbolic meaning behind their design, they can be as meaningful, fun or fashionable as you like! While they can be associated with typically bohemian looks, pendant necklaces are still modern and can be the finishing touch to a chic and minimalist look with both gold pendants and silver pendants.
What is the difference between a pendant and a necklace?
The difference between a pendant and a necklace is that they refer to different parts of a piece of jewellery. A necklace refers to a whole ensemble that can be worn around the neck. This could be a chain necklace, a necklace with a pendant or even a necklace adorned with gemstones - the options are truly endless.
On the other hand, a pendant refers to the charm-like accessory that can be added to a variety of different jewellery pieces such as chains, bracelets and even bangles.

Which chain length is best for pendants?
To choose which chain length is best for you, then you will need to think about how you want to wear your chains.
If you like to keep it simple with just one necklace, then a 45cm necklace chain could be the one for you. This length falls just about level with your collarbone or slightly above, so it’s a perfect option to really make the single necklace stand out.
If you’re planning on doing some layering with your look, then maybe a 50cm-60cm chain will be a better option. These chains tend to fall just below the collar bone and on the upper chest.
You should always wear your pendant on the longest chain in your layer to anchor your look and ensure that it is the focal point.
Many of our chains are adjustable so you can actually adjust the length of the chain according to your needs!
How To Wear Pendant Necklaces
Layer It Up
As we’ve discussed, pendants look fabulous on their own, but they look even better when paired with other stunning necklaces. Keep it simple or have some fun, the opportunities are truly endless. Go consistent with the same coloured metal with different chain types, or you could have a play different metal colours for an edgy and unique tone.
Create A Cluster
Who said that you should only wear one pendant on one chain? Not us! Wearing multiple pendants on one necklace makes an interesting and fashionable cluster that is completely unique to you. Whether you can’t choose between two or three pendants or you want to stand out from the crowd, cluster pendants are our new favourite trend.
Get Personal
Customise and personalise your look with a pendant that has a deep or symbolic meaning. It could be that you wear the initials of someone that you care about, or that you rock your very own birthstone. Alternatively, matching pendants with your boo or bff is a sweet and sentimental choice that we adore.
