Pendant sets are characterized by a locket hanging from a plain chain. The locket can have intricate or simple designs. Pendants also have lockets in the shape of different gods and goddesses. These pendants are not to be confused with temple motif pendants as the former may represent the religious belief of the wearer whereas the secondary is generally worn for ornamental purposes. Other pendant designs include tribal, contemporary, animals, floral, geometric, lace, etc. Fashion pendant sets are available in different coatings such as yellow gold, matte finish, white gold, rose gold, white rhodium, etc. Then there are American Diamond (AD) aka Cubic Zirconia (CZ) pendant sets and Kundan pendant sets.
Pendant sets come in various shapes and sizes. Depending on your dress neckline, you can go for a short pendant set or a long pendant set in case of a deep neckline. Pendant sets are very versatile and can be worn on various occasions ranging from weddings, festivities, religious ceremonies, cocktail parties, buffets, formal meetings, casual outings, etc. Choose a minimal pendant set for a subtle look or go for a bold statement piece for weddings or parties to stand out from the crowd.
