pendant necklaces

Chains with charms

Pendant necklaces are necklaces featuring a hanging ornament or charm suspended from the chain.

The pendant—which may be decorative, symbolic, or sentimental—distinguishes these from plain chains or beaded necklaces: She wore a pendant necklace with her grandmother's locket.

The term is slightly redundant, since pendants by definition hang from something.
