A pendant is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain or cord worn around the neck. Pendants can come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, often featuring gemstones, symbols, or intricate artwork. They can be simple and minimalistic or elaborate and ornate, serving as a focal point of a necklace. Pendants can carry personal meaning, such as representing a belief, a loved one, or a special memory, and are popular for both casual and formal occasions.
