Pendants

Nothing makes a necklace or chain as versatile to wear as the use of a pendant, which can be worn when the occasion allows. These pendants, also called slides, offer versatile fashion jewelry -- or fine jewelry -- that can be combined with different necklaces, chains and chokers to create a variety of looks.

Hundreds of pendant designs exist -- from elegant and dainty, to uniquely bold. Like charms, a pendant is a highly personal piece of jewelry. Pendants are used to recognize hobbies, occupations, religion, pets, foods, travel, organizations and other pastimes held dear to your heart. Most of these are sold as inexpensive fashion jewelry, but some are created with precious metals and genuine gemstones to be sold as fine jewelry.

Generally, pendants are held on the chain by what jewelers call a "slide," which just as it says, allows the pendant to slide along the chain as it is not fixed to the chain permanently.
