Pendants FAQ
What are pendant charms?
+
Pendant charms are larger charms for necklaces, and traditionally are not paired with other charms or pieces, being a feature piece on the chain of your choice. Pendant jewelry is oftentimes more ornate than a standard, smaller charm, and stands out on its own rather than with a collection of other charms. Fine jewelry pendants will often include diamonds or other precious stones, and are large enough to dazzle alone. Be sure to explore Helen’s collection of 14k gold pendant jewelry, and find elegance your own way.
Can a pendant go on any chain?
+
While pendant charms can technically be placed on any chain, there are certain style traditions that pendant jewelry tends to look best on. Box chains, cable chains, figaro chains, and wheat chains are all traditionally used as a pendant necklace– remember, fine jewelry pendants are determined by their size and service to necklaces only. Smaller adornments on chains or bracelets are considered charms!
What is the difference between a locket and a pendant?
+
Pendant jewelry is determined by size and style. Technically, a large enough locket could be considered a type of pendant, whereas pendant charms are described as any large, loose-hanging piece attached to a chain.
What is the difference between a charm and a pendant?
+
The difference between pendants and charms comes mostly down to size and feature. Where charms are smaller and traditionally paired or grouped with other charms, pendant jewelry is larger, and hangs on a chain as its own statement piece or feature adornment. Helen’s collection of 14k gold pendant jewelry includes many pieces meant to be worn alone on chains, letting the piece dazzle without the implementation of other charms.
