A pendant is a small decorative piece of jewellery that hangs from a necklace chain. They come in different shapes, sizes and designs, and they can even be customised. There are no rules for what a pendant is made from, so you’ll find them in materials like gold, silver, gemstones and even wood or glass.

Types of pendants
Personalised pendants
Personalised pendants can be customised with initials, names or dates that mean something to you. They make thoughtful gifts and are perfect if you’re looking for something unique.
Stone pendants
Stone pendants feature a variety of precious or semi-precious stones. Popular choices include moonstone and rose quartz. Each stone carries its own symbolism and meaning.
Heart pendants
Heart pendants come in various styles and designs and make excellent gifts. Not only are they always trending but they are a thoughtful way to show you care.
Cleaning your pendants
Keeping your pendants clean is important so that they look good for as long as possible. Dirt, debris and dust can build up on your pendant, especially if it’s a piece that you wear daily.
Use a soft cloth to clean your pendant regularly. You can use a mild soap and water solution for stone or metal pendants. Avoid harsh chemicals and be gentle with your jewellery so you don’t damage the material.
Storing your pendants and regular maintenance
Store your pendant in a jewellery box or pouch to protect it from scratches and tarnish. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent damage or tarnishing. Make sure you check your pendants regularly for any signs of wear or damage as cleaning or repairing your jewellery is better than leaving it too late.
