A pendant necklace is a small symbol worn close. Our hand-painted pendants are crafted in Paris — lucky charms, blooming flowers, beloved animals and meaningful motifs, each suspended from a delicate gold- or silver-toned chain. Worn alone or layered, a pendant is the easiest way to carry a little meaning with you every day.
From a single dainty symbol to a bold sculptural centrepiece, every pendant necklace is hand-enamelled and assembled by Parisian artisans, with faceted-glass and cultured-pearl detailing. Most chains are adjustable in length, so your pendant sits exactly where you want it — and arrives gift-ready for the people you love.
Discover how to wear and layer them in our journal on layering necklaces like a Parisian, or browse our wider pendant collection to build a set that's yours.
How long are the chains on your pendant necklaces?
Chain lengths vary by design, and many styles include an adjustable extender so you can fine-tune the drop. The exact length and any adjustability are listed on each product page, so it's easy to check before you buy — especially handy if you're choosing a length for layering.
What are Les Néréides pendant necklaces made from?
Each pendant is hand-painted in Paris in enamel and set with faceted glass, cubic zirconia or cultured pearl depending on the design, on a gold- or silver-toned plated chain. These are beautifully crafted costume pieces, made for artistry and expression rather than precious-metal value.
Can I layer several pendant necklaces together?
Absolutely — pendants are made to be mixed. Pair a short, dainty symbol with a longer statement piece to create depth, or stack two or three complementary motifs. Our journal guide to layering necklaces like a Parisian walks through the easiest combinations.
How do I care for my pendant necklace?
Treat it gently, as you would any hand-painted piece. Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotion and hairspray, remove it before showering or swimming, and store it flat in a soft pouch or its box. A light wipe with a dry, soft cloth keeps the enamel and stones looking their best.
Do pendant necklaces make a good gift?
They're one of our most-loved gifts — a pendant carries personal meaning, from a lucky symbol to a favourite flower or animal. A Les Néréides gift box can be added to your order to complete the moment, ready to give for a birthday, an anniversary, or simply because.
