Pendant

The extent to which the design of a pendant can be incorporated into an overall necklace makes it not always accurate to treat them as separate items.

These are objects believed to possess magical or spiritual power to protect the wearer from danger or dispel evil influences.

However, while an amulet is strictly a defensive object, a talisman is meant to confer special benefits or powers upon the wearer.

They typically come in the form of a pendant hanging from a necklace, though they will occasionally be hung from a charm bracelet.

[8][9] Fashion pendants include a small creative piece often made from precious or non-precious stones and metals like diamonds or pearls hanging freely from a chain or necklace.
