Pendant

pen·dant | ˈpen-dənt

noun

A hanging ornament primarily worn on a necklace

A pendant is a loose piece of jewelry that hangs from a necklace. The term is native to both Latin and French, and in both cases translates to “to hang down.” Pendants are a natural evolution of ancient talismans and amulets which were worn for both ornamentation and religious reasons dating back to the Stone Age. Because pendants and the forebears of the style have been commonly worn by humans around the globe for millennia, there are countless examples of the jewelry, from lockets to medallions to modern pendants that utilize current trends and styles in jewelry.
