The art of choosing the perfect neck pendant. How to do it?

A small piece of jewellery that has the extraordinary ability to underline personality. Moreover, it frames the décolletage perfectly. How to choose the right pendant?

The charm of a pendant lies in its artistic rendering and the symbolism it carries. From minimalist motifs to intricate artistic compositions set with precious stones.

How to choose the material of the pendant

The choice of material fundamentally affects not only the appearance, but also the value and durability of the pendant. In the luxury segment, you will most often encounter gold pendants:

• Yellow gold is a classic, timeless choice. Its warm hue flatters all skin types and stands out perfectly in contrast to dark garments. Yellow gold in 14 or even 18 carat purity offers the ideal combination of purity and durability.
• White gold will appeal to lovers of a cooler, modern aesthetic. It is an alloy of gold with white metals (most commonly palladium) that is electroplated with rhodium to achieve the typical white appearance. This finish gives the jewellery exceptional durability and radiant shine.
• Rose gold brings a romantic touch to the world of pendants. Its soft pink hue is created by adding copper to the gold alloy. In recent years, it has experienced a renaissance, becoming the choice of those who appreciate sophisticated tenderness.

The pendant has the power to accentuate the personality

The choice of pendant design should reflect the personality of the wearer or the occasion for which the jewellery is intended. pendants can have a deeper symbolism or be seen as a work of art.

Chain pendants with deeper symbolism

the angel pendant is one of the most popular pieces of jewellery. It embodies protection, guidance and spiritual balance. In a luxurious design, angel wings can be crafted with remarkable detail and are often complemented with tiny diamonds that accentuate the ethereal nature of this symbol.

Equally popular are heart-shaped pendants, symbolizing love and devotion, or a key that may represent new beginnings, opportunities or secrets. Spiritually inclined individuals often choose a cross or symbols associated with their faith or philosophy.

For women who appreciate sophisticated symbolism, BENY offers an exclusive collection of pendants inspired by a variety of motifs, in gold and crafted with masterful precision.

Design pendants on a chain

Current trends are bringing innovative approaches to the world of pendants. Abstract shapes, geometric compositions or architecturally inspired designs turn ordinary jewellery into wearable works of art.

Pendants with precious stones, set in a way that maximises natural beauty, are also exceptionally impressive.

When choosing a pendant, also think about the practical side

In addition to aesthetic and symbolic values, it is also important to consider practical aspects:

• The size and weight should match the wearer's body and the chain on which the pendant will be suspended. Smaller people are usually better complemented by subtler pendants, while more substantial figures can also handle larger designs.
• The pendant's lugs (the part through which the chain is threaded) should be sturdy enough and firmly connected to the body of the pendant. In luxury jewellery, the eyelet is often formed by a solid ring, which ensures stability even when worn every day.
• Compatibility with the chain is a key factor. Some pendants require a specific type of chain to support their design and ensure a proper fit in the neckline.
