What is a pendant necklace?

A pendant necklace is a type of jewelry that features a central piece (the pendant) hung from a chain or cord. The pendant is typically larger and more ornate than the chain, and may be made of a variety of materials such as metal, gemstones, or glass. Pendant necklaces can come in a variety of styles, from simple and understated to elaborate and eye-catching. They are often worn as a statement piece and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Pendant necklaces make great gifts and can be personalized with initials, birthstones, or other meaningful symbols.
