Questions we get in the store
Does the chain come with the pendant in these sets?
Yes, on nearly every listing here. The pendant arrives on the chain chosen to carry it, and most sets let you pick the length. Three read as the pendant alone, the D eagle, the RV initial and the Skanderbeg, so ask us first.
Which chain holds a heavy pendant best?
A Franco or a Cuban, 3 mm or wider, for anything heavy. Both links keep their shape under weight and hold the pendant facing out, where a thin chain lets it twist. Ask us the width when the listing leaves it out.
Should my set be silver or gold?
Silver, when you want a big piece with real weight to it. Most buyers take .925 silver, nearly nine sets in ten. Choose 14K gold for a small piece you wear every day, and 10K when you want gold that takes knocks.
More questions we get
How thick should the chain be for my pendant?
Match the chain to the pendant's weight. A light gold piece of a few grams hangs well on a 2 mm chain. A heavy silver head wants 3 mm or more, so it hangs flat. The bail has to clear the chain too.
What chain length should I pick for a pendant set?
Twenty-four inches, if you want the pendant mid chest, and it was the length bought most. Take 18 to wear it high near the neck. A heavy piece looks best on one of the longer chains, where it can hang free.
Are the diamonds on these sets natural or lab-grown?
Natural on 42 of the 43 diamond sets, by the origin line on each listing. One silver set reads lab-grown, so ask us before you pay, and ask for the color and clarity grade too.
Can I get the same pendant on a different chain?
Sometimes, as its own listing. A few pendants already come as separate sets on different chains, like the silver crucifix on a Franco, a moon cut and two Cubans. For any other pairing, ask us in the live chat first, or by text or a call on 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET, before you order.
Can I send a set back after it arrives?
Yes. You have fourteen calendar days from delivery, with the chain and pendant unworn and unaltered. Clear it with customer service first, at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832, then ship only on our return label. We deduct five percent restocking and that label, per the refund policy. Cut chains are final.
