How to Choose a Pendant Necklace

Metal and finish. A 925 sterling silver pendant is light, durable and usually gentle on sensitive skin. Gold-plated and gold-tone pendants give a warm gold look for everyday styling – they are fashion jewellery, not solid gold. For a premium pendant for women, look at the smaller range in real 9K, 14K and 18K gold, or explore gold necklaces and diamond necklaces set with lab-grown diamonds. Loose designs to put on your own chain are in our gold pendant and silver pendant collections.

Pendant size. A small pendant necklace (under about 1.5 cm) suits daily wear and petite frames; larger pendants work as a focal point on plain outfits.

Chain length. A 16–18 inch pendant chain for women keeps the pendant at the collarbone; 20–24 inches lets it fall lower, which suits high necklines and kurtis. Many chains include an extender, so you can adjust the drop.

Neckline. A V-neck suits a pendant that follows the V; a round neck suits a short pendant sitting above the neckline; a high neck needs a long chain.

How to Wear a Pendant Necklace

Knowing how to wear a pendant necklace comes down to keeping it centred and letting it breathe.

• Office wear: a solitaire or initial on a fine chain looks polished with shirts – see our picks of the best minimalist necklaces for office wear.
• Jeans and tees: a heart or evil eye pendant, or two pendants layered at different lengths.
• Kurti: a longer pendant on a 22–24 inch chain balances straight kurtis.
• Saree: the best pendant necklace for saree is a gold-tone, kundan or pearl pendant on a short chain, with a matching pendant necklace with earrings set for a coordinated look.
• Western dresses: a sparkling CZ drop suits off-shoulder and sweetheart necklines.

To change the chain, open the clasp, slide the pendant's loop on and close it – or pick a fresh base from our chain for women range. Looking for a loose pendant? Shop charms and pendants.

Pendants for Festivals and Gifting

For Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri, a Ganesha, Om or Lakshmi pendant is a meaningful choice. A pendant necklace for girls in a heart, butterfly or star shape makes a lovely birthday gift, while initial and heart pendants are popular for anniversaries, Raksha Bandhan and Valentine's Day.

Pendant Care

Take pendants off before bathing or swimming unless marked waterproof, keep perfume away from stones and pearls, and store each piece in a pouch so chains don't knot.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between pendant and necklace?

A pendant is the decorative piece that hangs from a chain, while a necklace is the whole piece worn around the neck. A pendant necklace is simply a chain with a pendant attached.

2. Do pendant necklaces come with a chain?

Most do – they're sold as a pendant with chain, and the product page lists the chain length. Loose pendants are sold separately.

3. Can you put a pendant on any chain?

Mostly, as long as the pendant's loop slides over the chain and the chain is strong enough. Box, rope and cable chains hold pendants best; very fine chains may struggle with heavy pendants.

4. What is the difference between a pendant and a locket?

A locket is a pendant that opens to hold a photo or keepsake. All lockets are pendants, but most pendants are solid.

5. Are pendant necklaces in style?

Yes – solitaires, initials, hearts and evil eye pendants are everyday staples, and layered pendants are popular. Their simplicity keeps them in style year after year.

6. Can you wear two pendant necklaces together?

Yes. Choose different chain lengths about 2 inches apart and vary the pendant sizes so they don't compete.

7. Which pendant is best for daily wear?

A small solitaire, initial or heart pendant in 925 sterling silver or an anti-tarnish finish is light and durable. Keep the chain at 16–18 inches so it doesn't catch.

8. Which pendant is considered lucky to wear?

Many people choose an evil eye for protection, or an Om, Ganesha or Lakshmi pendant for blessings. The most meaningful pendant is one that matters to you.

9. What chain length is best for a pendant necklace?

18 inches suits most necklines and keeps the pendant at the collarbone. Go to 20–24 inches for high necks or a relaxed look.
