The Difference Between Necklaces & Pendants

A necklace or a pendant is a spectacular piece of jewellery that’s available in a magnitude of styles and designs. Whether you’re dressing up for a fancy cocktail party, or going for a more casual look when having brunch with the girls, an emerald, ruby and sapphire necklace or diamond pendant will transform your outfit, giving you an element of sparkle and shine. When you choose to purchase a necklace or pendant from Jaubalet, you can design a sapphire or ruby necklace that’s completely unique to you. But before doing that, you should find out the difference between a necklace and a pendant!

The Difference Between a Necklace and a Pendant

A pendant and a necklace can be worn around the neck, but they are ultimately two different pieces of jewellery. A necklace is both a chain and other fixed embellishments and is worn around the neck, whereas a pendant is a small piece of jewellery (such as a princess cut ruby in a yellow gold setting) and is attached to an anklet, necklace chain or bracelet. The main difference between a necklace and a bracelet is that you can wear a pendant on any part of your body once it is hanging on a chain, but a necklace is only worn around someone’s neck.

Featuring multiple strands or rows of diamonds, rubies or sapphires, this stunning necklace gives a really in-depth, layered feel.  A cascading gemstone or diamond necklace emphasises the neckline and looks amazing with strapless dresses, and looks with a high neckline.

This type of necklace is available in a range of lengths - whether you want a small 16 inch necklace or a 48 inch necklace, it is entirely your choice!
