Sterling Silver Necklaces with Real Gemstones  

Pendant Necklaces, Chains and Layering Pieces

Necklaces combine two decisions: the stone and the chain length. Most designs use an 18-inch chain as the default, which sits just below the collarbone. 20-inch chains fall to the upper chest; 16-inch styles sit near the throat. Simple solitaire pendants feature a single stone in a bezel or prong setting on a plain chain — the most versatile choice for everyday wear. Statement pendants use larger stones, often in irregular shapes: freeform, marquise, or rough-cut. Cluster pendants combine multiple smaller stones in a single mount. Teardrop and oval cuts are the most common in this category. For layered looks, pair a 16-inch choker with an 18 or 20-inch pendant. Matching stone colors or contrasting them both work well. Some customers pair two pendants in the same stone type at different chain lengths for a tonal effect. All chains are .925 sterling silver using cable or box link construction, durable for daily wear. Standard lobster clasp on most designs. Returns accepted within 30 days. Free US shipping.
