A piece of jewelry that hangs from a necklace, collar, or choker as the centerpiece. Not to be confused with a necklace, which is the chain itself. A pendant is the piece that hangs from the necklace. It may also hang from a collar or choker. If it could barely swing nor flap, it is not a pendant. See charm (object) for a more general term covering hanging ornaments aside from neckwear.
