Men's Pendant Necklaces: How to Style Them

A pendant can finish an outfit or fight with it. Every pendant arrives complete with its own chain. The real styling choice is what you layer with it. Browse our pendant necklace collection to see every design mentioned here. 

This guide covers every pendant style we make. Each one gets its own layering tips and a link to its page. Use it to shop for men's pendant necklaces with confidence. 

Complete Pendant, Then a Second Chain 

Every pendant comes complete with a specific chain. This is mainly a 3mm rope chain at 22 inch. You do not need to buy a chain to wear it. 

The styling comes from a second chain. We style each pendant with a separate chain for a layered look. It also appears on the product page as an extra item you can add. 

A men's chain with pendant looks best when the two chains sit at different lengths. Use the table below as a starting point. 

Second Chain	Try This Length	Effect
Cuban	20 inch	Bold contrast with the rope chain
Figaro	20 inch	Balanced, everyday layer
Belcher	20 inch	Clean and plain, lets the pendant lead
Franco	20 inch	Structured, sits neatly

Browse our men's chains collection to find a second chain for your pendant. 

Saints, Angels and Wings 

These pendants carry protection and strength. They suit men who want meaning in a quiet form. Each one comes complete with its own chain, ready to wear. 

St Christopher Pendant 

Wear the St Christopher Gold Pendant on the chain it comes with. For a layered look, add a 5mm Cuban at 20 inch above it. Our St Christopher x Cuban Set pairs the two for you. 

St Michael Pendant 

The St Michael Gold Pendant stands for strength, courage, and justice. It arrives on a rope chain. Layer a Cuban chain above it so the archangel gets extra presence. 

St Mary Pendant 

The St Mary Silver Pendant is a gentler symbol. Wear it on its own chain under an open collar. Add a slim silver chain at 20 inch for a soft layer. 

Angel Pendant 

The Angel Silver Pendant is light and personal. Layer a plainer second chain over its own, at a different length. 

Wing Pendant 

The Wing Gold Pendant is a freer, more modern take. Wear it on its own chain over a plain t-shirt. A second gold chain at 24 inch adds depth. 

Cross, Crucifix and Jesus Pendants 

Among men's pendant necklaces, faith designs work best with restraint. Let the pendant carry the meaning. Keep any second chain plain. 

Cross Pendant 

The Cross Gold Pendant is the simplest option. Wear it daily on its own chain. Add a Figaro or Belcher at 20 inch for a light layer. Our Cross x Cuban Set pairs it with a Cuban chain. 

Crucifix Pendant 

The Crucifix Gold Pendant has more detail and weight. It arrives on a rope chain, as in our crucifix sets. Layer a Cuban above it. The texture contrast makes the figure show. 

Jesus Pendant 

The Jesus Gold Pendant is a direct, personal choice. Wear it as your only pendant so it stays the focus. Keep the second chain plain. 

Iced Cross Pendant 

The Iced Cross Gold Pendant adds sparkle to a classic shape. Let it be the one bright piece. Layer a plain chain above it. It also comes in white gold for a cooler look. 

Iced Ankh Cross Pendant 

The Iced Ankh Cross Gold Pendant has a looped top and a sparkling finish. Keep other jewellery minimal. A plain second chain frames it well. 

Symbols and Statement Designs 

These designs say something about the man wearing them. They suit a bolder outfit. Many men's pendant necklaces in this group look best with one plain layered chain. 

Compass Pendant 

The Compass Gold Pendant is for the man who forges his own path. It arrives on a 3mm rope chain at 22 inch. Layer a 5mm Cuban at 20 inch, as in our Compass x Cuban Set. 

Lion Pendant 

The Lion Gold LE Pendant stands for pride and strength. This limited edition adds extra detail. Layer a Cuban chain with it, as in our Lion LE x Cuban Set. 

Medusa Pendant 

The Medusa Gold Pendant is bold and mythic. Add a plain second chain. A dark top makes the gold stand out. 

Hamsa Pendant 

The Hamsa Gold Pendant is a symbol of protection. Wear it on its own chain against a simple neckline. Our Hamsa x Cuban Set adds a Cuban layer. 

Fleur De Lis Pendant 

The Fleur De Lis Gold Pendant has a classic crest shape. Wear it under an open collar with a blazer, plus a slim second chain. 

Dice Pendant 

The Dice Gold Pendant is playful and relaxed. Try it over a t-shirt or a hoodie, with a chunkier second chain. 

Rose Pendant 

The Rose Gold Pendant is a softer, detailed design. Wear it on its own chain. Keep any second chain slim so the detail shows. 

Iced Cream Pendant 

The Iced Cream Gold Pendant is a fun, sparkly piece. Pair it with a plain second chain and relaxed clothes. 

Gemstone Pendants 

Stone pendants add colour and natural character. A men's pendant necklace with a stone suits a plain outfit best. A second chain in the same tone frames the stone. 

Onyx Pendant 

The Onyx Gold Pendant is protective and grounding. Its dark tone suits black and grey outfits. Layer a gold chain above it under a plain jacket. 

Aventurine Pendant 

The Aventurine Gold Pendant is linked to prosperity and confidence. The green tone works with neutrals. Our Aventurine x Cuban Set adds a Cuban layer. 

Lapis Pendant 

The Lapis Gold Pendant is linked to wisdom and truth. The deep blue pairs well with denim. A gold second chain makes the blue look richer. 

Spectrolite Pendant 

The Spectrolite Gold Pendant is iridescent and mysterious. Let it catch the light on its own chain. Our Spectrolite x Cuban Set adds a Cuban layer. 

Gold, Silver or Gun Metal 

Finish changes the mood of a pendant. Pick the tone that suits your wardrobe. 

Finish	Look	Pairs Well With
Gold	Warm and classic	Browns, olives, darker fabrics
Silver	Cool and clean	Navy, grey, black
Gun Metal	Dark and edgy	Monochrome outfits
White Gold	Bright and cool	Iced designs

Our men's pendants use a 316L stainless steel base. The colour is a PVD finish. Every tone carries the same guarantee against tarnishing, fading, and discolouring. Match your second chain to the pendant tone or mix tones on purpose. 

Layering and Sets 

One pendant is a statement. A second chain adds depth. Wear the pendant on its own chain first. A men's chain with pendant then gains a second layer at a different length. 

• Keep one pendant as the focus 

• Keep the second chain two inches or more away 

• Match the finish, or mix tones on purpose 

The product page shows a separate chain as an extra item to add. Our sets do the pairing for you. Each set pairs a pendant with a Cuban chain. See our chain and pendant sets to compare them.
