Women have been wearing pendants for centuries for various reasons. Ever since, they are used to highlight a necklace or a dress and as such, they come in various shapes and forms. In this chapter we will take a look at some of their types and styles before you buy silver pendants online or in any store

Why are pendants so useful?

Pendants are really useful for many reasons. Let’s see a couple of these :

They can be worn with all sorts of necklace: indeed pendants come independent from a necklace, this way giving their wearers the choice to decide how and with which one of their necklace they decide to wear them.

Pendants can highlight a single larger stone or a variety of precious stones: The pendant itself can freely be the single valuable item on a necklace, as due to its size and shape it can be perfectly used to make jewellery designers’ dream come true. Lots of gemstones can create a marvellous pattern and one single stone can have a really dramatic effect.

To hold something: back in the day, when dames didn’t yet wear any pockets or handbags, pendants were much often used for the hiding of small or tiny things. These varied from wearer to wearer. They can feature a photo, hide medication, poison or even a more expensive gemstone. Indeed many pendants do have a secret especially those of antique sort. These pendants often had an opener only their original wearer knew how to use.

What types of pendants can we differentiate?

The message bearer: pendants are often used as message bearers, especially those which come in the shape of a heart. Heart pendants are used by parents as a birthday present, graduation present and other cultures gift heart shaped pendants after the birth of a baby to bring him/her blessings.

The trendy pendant: no matter in what shape or form they are featured pendants can be very trendy. Nowadays, there are jewellers who also manufacture miniature pendants for bracelets too.

The religious pendants: one type of statement pendant the pendants featuring religious symbols or messages are extremely popular for almost every religion. Buy silver pendant to a Muslim male or a gold pendant to a Muslim female for instance. Pendants featuring Allah’s name, the cross for Catholics or the David Star for Jewish are widely available online.

The statement pendant: these pendants generally hold the statement of richness. Decorated with diamonds and coloured gemstones the jewellery pendants can be extremely expensive. But thanks to the fact they mostly don’t come attached to a necklace, they are way more durable, much easier to maintain and store this way they can stay safe for decades.

Talismans: The original use of pendants was to protect their wearer from bad luck.

Silver and gold pendants are widely available online. Gold plated pendants can come for an especially good price. Buy silver pendants if you want it to go with the large majority of your dresses. Silver can especially greatly emphasise the beauty of coloured gemstones too. Online jewellery stores offer pendants in all size, shape and price.
