Pendant, in jewelry, ornament suspended from a bracelet, earring, or, especially, a necklace. Pendants are derived from the primitive practice of wearing amulets or talismans around the neck. The practice dates from the Stone Age, when pendants consisted of such objects as teeth, stones, and shells.

Their slight variances in pronunciation and their different meanings make it important to use them properly to ensure your sentences are understood. Pendant is a hanging piece of jewelry, usually a necklace, worn or displayed. Pendent is an adjective that is used to describe a hanging or suspended item.

A pendant hangs from a chain and can usually be removed or put on allowing you to wear at different lengths if required. Pendants are different from necklaces as they have the feature in the centre of the chain which hangs down unlike a necklace where the feature is all the way round.

When thinking of pendants that symbolize love, a heart pendant is the most obvious and traditional one. The heart is the universal symbol of love, romance, and affection.
