Omega Chain Pendant For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the omega chain pendant you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Frequently made of Gold, 14k Gold and Yellow Gold, this item was constructed with great care. Our collection of these items for sale includes 5 vintage editions and 8 modern creations to choose from as well. Making the right choice when shopping for an omega chain pendant may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 20th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing omega chain pendant — no matter the origin — is easy, but Eytan Brandes, Hermès and Five Star Jewelry each produced a popular version that is worth a look. An omega chain pendant can make for a versatile accessory, but a selection from our variety of 7 Diamond versions can add an especially stylish touch. A brilliant cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also mixed cut and princess cut versions for sale. When shopping for an omega chain pendant, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or men today than there are for women.

How Much is a Omega Chain Pendant?

The price for an omega chain pendant starts at $323 and tops out at $16,180 with these necklaces, on average, selling for $1,540.

Finding the Right necklaces for You

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more. 

Questions About Omega Chain Pendant
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Yes, you can put some pendants on an omega chain. Due to the thickness of omega chains, a pendant must have a large enough bail to fit over it. The bail is the piece of hardware that slips over a chain to hold a pendant in place. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of omega chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    There is no single strongest style of chain for a pendant. Curb, cable and trace chains are generally strong options. However, the quality of a necklace's craftsmanship will also determine its strength. Explore a wide range of chains from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best gold chain for a pendant is a matter of preference. While choosing a chain make sure that the chain is not too thick for the size of the pendant, and it is strong enough. Wheat chains and box chains are good choices due to their sturdiness and flexibility. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of gold chain and pendant options to choose from.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best chain for a diamond pendant is really a matter of preference. There are various features to look out for when you’re shopping for a chain for your diamond pendant — durability-wise, a cable chain will be strong and versatile for everyday wear. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage chain necklaces and pendant jewelry today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    There is no single best style of chain for a pendant. Generally, simple chains are the best option if you intend to add a pendant. Choose from varieties like the cable chain, the rope chain, the box chain and the ball chain. Whatever style you choose, double-check that the thickness of the necklace will work with the bail of your pendant. Explore a wide range of chain necklaces on 1stDibs.
