The Best Pendant Necklaces

The Best Pendant Necklaces

From jasper orbs to gold medallions, shop our favorites.

There's a reason the pendant has outlasted every other jewelry trend: it does the work of a whole outfit in a single gesture.

I pulled together the best pendant necklaces, from a simple sterling silver pendant to diamond and topaz on 18-karat gold. FoundRae, Khaite, Oscar de la Renta, Melissa Joy Manning, Persée, and Diane Kordas bring a mix of fine chains, hammered pearl details, sculptural shapes, and everyday pieces that can sit neatly at a neckline. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together Necklaces Worth Layering and Pearl Necklaces.
