Finding the Right pendant-necklaces for You
Whether you’re layering multiple jewelry pieces or opting for a single strand, vintage pendant necklaces are versatile accessories that can elevate your casual wear as easily as they can add a creative flourish to your formal attire.
The earliest jewelry was less about accessorizing than it was about wearers arming themselves with amulets. In Ancient Egypt, some amulets featured a loop so that they could be strung around one’s neck. While rubies have long been one of the few gemstones that can give diamonds a run for their money, members of some ancient civilizations valued the stones from the get-go, donning ruby pendants as well as other stones with the belief that these adornments would bring protection, healing powers or strength. Today, we still wear our charm bracelets and charm pendants around our necks for good luck.
Later, pendant necklaces, like most fine jewelry, were worn strictly by royalty or the upper class and conferred wealth and prestige. This changed over time, thankfully, as wearing jewelry became more widespread, a democratized means of personal expression.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, pendant necklaces evolved from their status as spiritual amulets, but the jewels still carried deep personal significance. Victorian pendants, in particular, were part of the “mourning jewelry” tradition. Wearers would embed their pendants with locks of hair from a deceased loved one as a way of grieving in the wake of a loss. In the case of cameo jewelry, some pendants were even decorated with miniature hand-carved portraits in a detailed raised relief. Today, portraiture is still a characteristic of many of the hand-carved pendant necklaces offered by Italian jewelry house Scala Gioielli.
Luxury fine jewelry brands such as Cartier, BVLGARI and David Yurman offer their own unique interpretations of the cherished accessory, embellishing platinum or gold pendant necklaces with diamonds, sapphires and other stones.
On 1stDibs, find an extraordinary range of vintage pendant necklaces and other necklaces today.
Questions About Freeform Pendant Necklace
- What is a pendant necklace?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pendant necklace is a type of jewelry worn around the neck that features a small ornament called a pendant. The term refers to both the chain or cord and the pendant itself. In some cases, pendant necklaces include both pieces. Other times, you buy the necklace or chain and pendant separately. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of pendant necklaces.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023Yes, you can wear a pendant on a tennis necklace. The key is to choose a pendant with a large enough bail to fit over the fastener and the links. Generally, thinner tennis necklaces will work better with pendants than ones that are 5 millimeters or above in thickness. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of tennis necklaces and pendants.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023There are a few necklace pendants that can mean love. Many people associate heart pendants with love since the heart is a classic symbol of romance and affection. With its intertwining forms, the Celtic knot also represents love, as does the triskelion, an ancient symbol consisting of three spirals that form a triangle. Remember that people interpret symbols in different ways, so some pendants may signify love to some people but not to others. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of pendant necklaces.
- Do guys wear pendant necklaces?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Yes, some guys wear pendant necklaces. Since there are no real rules for jewelry, men can feel free to sport any type of necklace they wish to wear. Some common pendant shapes for men include crosses, anchors, coins, feathers and claws. Find a wide variety of pendant necklaces from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
