First, let’s distinguish between a pendant and a necklace.
A pendant is an adornment that hangs from a chain. They range from simple one-stone drops to ornate multihued patterns. Pendants can easily be removed from one chain and placed on another.

A pendant plus a chain creates a necklace; on some occasions the drop pendant is attached to the chain. A necklace can also take the shape of a gem-encrusted collar or a strand of pearls.

What’s the occasion?
Is this necklace for everyday wear or special occasion only? Pendants on a simple chain are best for every day, while an intricate necklace is better suited for special occasions.

Decide which precious metal she prefers.
Look at her current jewelry collection or ask her family and friends. The metals we craft are platinum, yellow gold, and white gold.

If you can’t decide on one metal, consider a gold and platinum necklace instead.

If you are shopping for a birthday gift, consider her birthstone. Click here for a Gemstone Calendar.
