A pendant is a type of pendant. It is worn on a lace or chain. Fundamentally from the suspension is no different. It is made of precious and base metals, may have inserts of precious or ornamental stones. It can be made, including, from glass (Murano), leather, bone.
Where to wear the pendant?
Unlike a pendant that can be attached to a bracelet on an arm or leg, to make a piercing with it, a chain with a pendant is intended only to be worn on the neck. Therefore, you need to know a few simple rules on how to put them on. It all depends on the length of the chain. If it is large, then the chain with the pendant will lie on the chest and emphasize the beauty of the bust.
On a shorter chain, the pendant draws attention to a beautiful neckline or pretty neck. If the
chain with the pendant falls below five centimeters from the collarbone, then this will visually lengthen the neck. A pendant lying between the clavicles will emphasize the perfection of its shape. For a long, elegant neck, a short chain with a pendant is suitable.
How to choose the right chain
From wearing jewelry, the chains are frayed and torn, and you can irretrievably lose both the jewelry and the chain. The ratio of the weight of the gold or silver chain and the pendant should be two to one. Even more reliable, if the weight of the chain for the pendant is three times the weight of the pendant. In addition, the type of weaving affects the chain strength. The most durable - anchor and shell, as they are easily bent. This does not harm them. If you wrap such a chain on your finger, then it will lie smoothly, without creases. It is in this case that a gold or silver chain with a pendant will last a long time.
Image creation
The pendant can be selected in accordance with the circumstances when it will be used - in the afternoon or in the evening. It can be a retro style that never goes out of style.
Sapphire, ruby, emerald or alexandrite surrounded by diamonds is an eternal classic. But an ultramodern style is also possible, which will catch everyone's eye with its laconicism.

40 cm is the length of the shortest chains on which the pendants are worn. The standard sizes for a chain with a pendant, which, as a rule, are preferred, are from 45 to 50 cm.
By type of material:
- Gold, including white and pink gold. Since gold has always been considered a sign of wealth, a gold chain with a pendant will indicate the success and independence of its owner.
- Silver can emphasize the individuality and style of a person better than gold, and they are very good for daily wear. What is interesting is silver: the more often it is put on, the more its individual parts shine, while others, remaining dark, emphasize the luster and polishing of the metal. Moreover, it becomes interesting if it is the result of using a pendant with a chain, and not the work of a jeweler. It is silver that is most often used in the manufacture of children's chains with a pendant.

It is difficult to break away from listing everything that jewelers came up with and embodied in products. Few of their works, when you peer at the quality of workmanship, when you marvel at fiction and skill, are left indifferent. And it doesn’t matter that this is a pendant with sapphire or amethyst, set in diamonds, or modern jewelry steel. You can only be amazed at the quality and variety of the pendants offered. Improvisations of jewelers do not allow them to be classified according to their appearance, because there are watches, aroma pendants, initials, amulets, flash pendants, zodiac signs, and much more.
