Though there are a slew of timeless, age-old baubles (pearl earrings, diamond tennis bracelets, etc.), jewelry isn’t immune to the rapid trend cycle. It’s not uncommon for a specific look to fade away after, say, one or two seasons. Though, that hasn’t quite been the case with pendant necklaces. From ‘90s-inspired cord pieces to sweet heart-shaped silhouettes, the style has been trending for a while now, and it only seems to be getting more in demand.
Namesake jewelry designer Pattaraphan Salirathavibhaga says the look is a great option to add to your rotation. For starters, she tells TZR, “You can have an everyday pendant necklace that can be worn alone and, if the occasion calls for it, layered with other necklaces.” They can also be the main character of your outfit, the expert notes. “On top of that, you can have these pendants in your name, loved ones, or even your zodiac signs,” Salirathavibhaga says. “I think it's the versatility of pendant necklaces and the room to personalize them that allows the style to be popular with a wide range of audiences.”
