From elaborate pieces dripping with rubies traditionally worn by Mughal emperors, to simple coin charms found around beachcombers’ necks in Brazil, pendants have always been considered a fantastic accessory due to their versatility. Working just as well with a cocktail dress as with a white T-shirt and jeans, they’re one of those rare accents that can be worn throughout seasons, either with winter turtlenecks or summer swimsuits. This practicality makes them a perfect choice for everyone on your holiday gift list. From Georg Jensen’s precious and naïve white flower necklace to Chopard’s diamond-studded pendant, above are some designs that will certainly charm in more ways than one.
