Pendant

A pendant is suspended on a variety of chains that may be made from gold, silver, cord, raffia or other materials. They are generally attached to a necklace by threading the chain through a suspension loop attached to the pendant, although they may sometimes be a permanent part of the necklace. Spiritual objects such as crosses, Buddhas and other images are often suspended pendants, and others may include coins, gems, gemstones, pearls or other decorative items that mayvbe mounted on silver, gold or other kinds of mounts.
