How To Style Pendants with Your Other Jewelry 

Now that you've seen a few examples of pendants that you can add to your collection, you may be wondering how you can make the most out of your favorite new pieces.

Here are a few tips for styling your pendants with other jewelry:

Mix Metals or Stay Uniform 

When you're putting on jewelry to complement your outfit, you'll either opt to stay with one color metal or choose to mix metals for a more assorted look. If you want to mix metals, try wearing chains of one color along with a pendant of another color to add some visual diversity to your jewelry.

Add Subtle Pieces or Go For Statements 

You might be wondering what you can pair with your new pendants. Should you choose additional statement pieces or keep your look scaled back? 

If you want to keep your look more classic and formal, you might consider wearing a slim chain bracelet and one strong ring. With your pendant, wear one minimal chain to create an expressive look that doesn't draw too much attention.

When you want to step out in a bolder look, try wearing multiple rings across both hands. You can stack bulky chains along with thin ones to accent your pendant necklace.  

Complete the Look With Classic Chains

Pendants are perfect for everyday wear, too. Some people enjoy pendants for how they can become a trademark piece in your attire. To go with a more accessible, relaxed feel, try adding a couple of classic chains to your pendant.

Here are a few of our favorites:

• The Cuban chain: a midweight classic.
• The Connell chain: an understated everyday piece with a huge pop culture impact. 
• The Snake chain: a smooth chain that moves with fluidity as you do.
• The Wheat chain: a complex midweight chain that adds texture.
• The Belcher chain: a lightweight chain for minimal jewelry lovers.
