Learn About Pearl Pendants
The embodiment of class and sophistication, pearl pendants are a standing favorite amongst jewelry lovers and aficionados. Today’s pearl market is rich and diversified, producing an array of natural and artificial pearls that range from the ever-popular freshwater pearl to the unique South Sea and Tahitian pearl. The distinctive hue and luster of the pearl makes it the perfect gemstone for elegant, eye-catching pendants.
Pearl Pendant Settings
Because pearls are relatively soft, they are quite easy to use in jewelry. Pearls can be drilled and strung onto a strand, line or metal cord; they can be glued to a bail or setting; or they can be set and held by prongs or precious metal arms in an elegant metal setting. The malleability of the pearl makes the pearl pendant extremely versatile.
Popular Pearl Pendants
The Solitaire Pearl Pendant
Arguably the most popular type of pearl pendant, the solitaire pearl pendant features a single pearl and bail hanging from a precious metal chain. Because the pearl is truly the center piece of a solitaire pearl pendant, the character of the pendant changes depending on the variety of pearl used. A classic white Akoya pearl offers traditional elegance and maximum luster; while a black, gray or purplish Tahitian pearls suggest a more distinct and unconventional look. The setting of the solitaire pearl pendant may also vary in style, from bezel to gypsy and prong, and may even incorporate diamonds or precious gemstones.
The Pearl Journey Pendant
Similar to the diamond journey pendant, the pearl journey pendant features three consecutively set pearls hanging either horizontally or vertically. The pendant may showcase identical pearls, pearls that gradually increase in size, or three different pearl varieties. Virtually any type or size pearl can be set in a journey pearl pendant, though the most popular kind is the round, white freshwater pearl. The pearl journey pendant is an especially romantic jewelry item, with its three pearls thought to represent the past, present and future of a couple’s relationship.
The Cluster Pearl Pendant
The cluster pearl pendant features an assortment of pearls, arranged into a flowing, elegant cluster. The pendant can incorporate almost any type pearl, and is most popular when strung with a mixture of pearl types.

Pearl Pendants
Pearl pendants are a unique and beautiful way of featuring pearls in your day to day life. Whether you are gearing up for a big party in the near future and pearls are just your absolute favorite gemstone, or you just decided to add some glamour to your wardrobe and are trying to find the perfect Fine Jewelry for your needs, pearl pendants may be the way to go. If you already have a Pearl Necklace or a Pearl Bracelet, a pearl pendant can be one more way to bring these shimmering, naturally occurring gems into your life. If you've never purchased pearl jewelry before, a pearl pendant might be your choice because the creativity of design options, and the many styles that pearl pendants come in, can really make a difference when trying to find the right piece of jewelry that can move from day to night and from casual to formal. A pearl pendant can be the perfect jewelry item for travel, able to fit with any outfit and any occasion.
If you've decided that a pearl pendant is the way to go, you should start to think about the kind of pearls you want to have featured. In a pearl necklace, or other jewelry made almost entirely of pearls, a lot of attention is drawn by the glamour of the style, but in a pearl pendant, the individual pearls are featured in a unique way, with the eye drawn down the chain, and the few pearls, or single pearl, in the pendant gaining a lot of attention. Pearl pendants come in simple designs, with a single pearl featured in a simple and beautiful setting, or they can come in creative designs with pearls acting as an accenting device in the pendant.
