When it comes to essential accessories, nothing beats a pendant on a necklace. What is a pendant necklace? It is a necklace — usually a simple chain — from which a piece of jewelry known as a pendant hangs. A pendant is like a charm, but while charms are smaller and often attached to bracelets and anklets, pendants are a bit larger and heavier so they hang nicely on the necklace chain.
Why Are Pendants On Necklaces So Popular?
Pendant necklaces are popular because there are so many types to fit a variety of tastes and personalities. Whether you want to express your love of flowers, a favorite animal or the beauty of the night sky, you can find a pendant necklace that does just that.
When you shop at Na Hoku, you will even find a number of pendant styles that express your love of the Hawaiian lifestyle. As Hawaii’s largest and oldest jewelry retailer and manufacturer, we are proud to represent the beauty and culture of our great state in many of our pendant designs. These are a great choice if you are looking for a Hawaiian necklace that celebrates the magic of the Islands.
Whether you choose a tropical necklace, a designer heart pendant or another style, a pendant on a necklace can instantly add the finishing touch to any outfit. However, there are a few style tips you should keep in mind when wearing one.
Style Tips
Different necklaces come in different lengths, and you will want to consider that when pairing your necklace with your outfit. For example, if you are wearing a lower-cut top, you do not want to wear a pendant and necklace with a shorter chain because it could look too short in comparison. Because different pendant lengths will look best with different tops, it is a good idea to have several pedants and chains in your collection.
Keep in mind that a pendant — especially a larger one — can make a bold statement. That is why many people love them! But it also means you do not necessarily want to pair them with other accessories that are on the larger or more elaborate side. It is generally a good rule of thumb to combine your pendant necklace with smaller, more subtle rings, bracelets and earrings.
Pendant necklaces are a great choice for making an impact — especially when you choose one with lots of color. Consider a pendant that features lots of colorful gemstones or gem inlay. Many of our Hawaiian flower necklace designs, Island Lifestyle designs and other tropical necklace styles are particularly colorful, with Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Inlay, Maw Sit Sit Jade Inlay and other gems lending them bold, beautiful color. Do not be shy about incorporating these striking pendants into your jewelry collection for a little extra oomph.
