Pendant Necklace

A pendant necklace is a meaningful piece that reflects who you are and what you hold dear. At HAVERHILL, every design is handcrafted with intention, blending lasting craftsmanship with deeply personal details that celebrate your story.

Start With What Matters Most

Ask yourself: whose story do you want to wear close? Whether it’s a tribute to your children, a nod to your partner, or a milestone worth remembering, each pendant necklace becomes a symbol of life’s most treasured connections. These are keepsakes made to honor love, memory, and legacy.

Choose Solid 14k Gold That Endures

All HAVERHILL pendant necklaces are made with solid 14k gold (never plated or filled) so it won’t wear away, tarnish, or fade over time under normal conditions. This makes it ideal for everyday wear, even through life’s messier moments.A yellow gold necklace for women brings a classic warmth, while white gold offers a cooler, more modern glow. Both are chosen for their strength, beauty, and lasting value — heirloom pieces made to be worn for years, not just occasions.

Add Meaning With Gemstones

Gemstones bring personal depth and timeless sparkle to your necklace. Whether it’s a birthstone necklace to celebrate your own journey or a thoughtful gold necklace for women to honor motherhood, each piece carries its own significance. Every gem can symbolize a birthday, a bond, or a milestone you want to carry close. At HAVERHILL, we use sustainably sourced gemstones, ensuring that your piece is as thoughtful in origin as it is in design.

Look For Thoughtful Craftsmanship

Our highly skilled team of in-house jewelers, stone setters, and polishers brings decades of experience to every piece. Based in Rhode Island — once the jewelry capital of the U.S. — HAVERHILL is proud to be part of its revival. Many of our collections are named after beloved local places like Warren and Newport, grounding each design in heritage and heart. From precise gemstone settings to carefully shaped pendants and secure clasps, every detail is crafted with care to create jewelry meant to be passed down.

Each necklace with pendants from HAVERHILL is thoughtfully designed to capture your story, which is why we made personalization easier than ever!

This flat heart pendant is lightweight, shiny, and full of sentiment. Use our personalization tool to add to it with your own initials or the initials of someone you love (up to 5 characters max). The heart pendant measures 23 x 24.5 mm and hangs from a polished paperclip-style Adelaide chain with 8.4 x 3.2 mm links and a lobster-claw clasp.

Pendant Necklace Gift Ideas

Few gifts say “I know you and I appreciate you” quite like a pendant necklace. Crafted with solid 14k gold and personal touches, these keepsakes quietly carry the moments and connections that matter most. Whether you’re honoring a milestone or offering everyday love, there’s a meaningful pendant for every story. 

For Moms: Celebrate Her Children

A birthstone necklace for mom is a timeless way to honor her role and the people she loves most. Choose one gemstone to represent a child’s birth month, or personalize with multiple stones to reflect each child, grandchild, or cherished family member. With every glance, she’s reminded of the joy and pride her family brings.

For Anniversaries: A Personal Heirloom

Mark the years you’ve shared (and the many still ahead) with a pendant that speaks to your relationship. Whether it’s a diamond pendant symbolizing enduring love or the initial of your shared last name, these meaningful pieces carry romantic significance. Designed to last, it’s a gift you can wear for every anniversary to come, with each year adding to its personal history.

For Daughters: A Gift She Can Wear For A Lifetime

Commemorate life’s meaningful firsts — a graduation, sweet sixteen, or coming-of-age moment — with a delicate gold pendant necklace. These accessible styles make beautiful “first fine jewelry” gifts that she’ll wear now and cherish for years. And with HAVERHILL’s heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, it’s a gift she can one day pass down to her own daughter.

For Everyday Strength: A Meaningful Touchstone

Some moments call for quiet strength. Symbolic pendants like hearts or crosses serve as wearable reminders of love, faith, or resilience. Whether this necklace is meant to help remind her of a special memory or a personal triumph, these understated pieces — like our timeless Cross Necklace or gold Zodiac Pendant — are powerful companions for everyday wear.

How To Style Pendant Necklaces

Styling a HAVERHILL pendant necklace is as easy as slipping it on every morning. Whether you’re chasing after your little ones, leading a Monday morning meeting, or enjoying a date night out, our necklaces are made to live with you. They can elevate any look while keeping meaningful moments close to your heart. Here are a few tried-and-true ways to wear yours:

1. Keep It Simple

A single pendant on a delicate chain can speak volumes. Pair a Zodiac Pendant or initial charm with a classic white tee or a soft cashmere sweater. The clean styling keeps the focus on your pendant, making it an easy go-to for daily wear.

2. Layer With Intention

If you have a few cherished pieces, layering can add dimension without overwhelming your outfit. Start with your pendant necklace as the focal point, then add shorter or longer chains to frame it. HAVERHILL’s different chain styles — like the Adelaide Mini or classic cable — make it easy to build a visually impactful stack with different textures. Limit layers to two or three for a polished look, or go all-out with four or more.

3. Dress Up, Dress Down

Don’t save your necklace for special occasions. These sentimental necklaces deserve to shine in everyday moments, too. Let your jewelry peek out from under a button-down, or wear a heart-shaped pendant with a breezy weekend dress. The shine of solid gold and the sparkle of sustainably sourced gemstones offer just the right touch of understated luxury wherever the day takes you.

4. Make It Yours

Above all, styling a pendant necklace is about honoring your story. Maybe that means choosing charms that represent your children. Maybe it’s a gemstone for an anniversary you’ll never forget. When your necklace is steeped in meaning, it becomes an heirloom in the making, and a reminder of the love and values you hold closest. Crafted with heirloom-level quality, HAVERHILL’s pendants are designed to be worn now and passed down later — marking your story in gold, one moment at a time.

Caring For Your Pendant Necklace

At HAVERHILL, we make jewelry that you can live in. That means you never have to take it off while exercising, showering, swimming, or sleeping. All materials are sustainably sourced, including our conflict-free, traceable, and 100% recycled gold and naturally mined or lab-grown gemstones. However, with a little mindful care, your pendant necklace will retain its brilliance for years to come:

• Clean Gently And Regularly: Use a mix of dish soap and warm water or a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner to safely clean both gold and gemstones. Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a soft, non-washable cloth (like a chamois cloth).
• Avoid Harsh Products: Never use cream-based or abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the gold or damage gemstones.
• Handle With Care: Avoid letting your necklace glide across hard surfaces to prevent scratching the gold or gemstones.
• Store Thoughtfully: When not wearing your pendant, keep it in the soft jewelry pouch or box it originally came in, separating it from other pieces to prevent tangling or damage.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Keep your jewelry away from open flames and high heat to preserve the integrity of the gold and gemstone settings.

With regular care and a few simple habits, your pendant necklace will stay just as beautiful as the first day you received it.
