Pick the angel first, then the metal and the chain. The silver baby angel holding an AK is the one buyers came for, nearly nine in ten pieces sold here in the past year. For something quieter, a plain gold charm or a small wing about an inch and a quarter tall wears every day. The big diamond and custom angels are showpieces, so ask the live chat about the chain first.
Which angel: baby angel, angel wing, praying angel and archangel pendants
Decide what the angel should say first. The baby angel holding an AK is the bold one. Angel wings and small plain charms are the quiet ones, listed for women and for men. Both praying angels carry diamonds, one in silver and one in 14K. For a darker read there are angel and demon pieces, a half angel half bat, an angel of death and an archangel. Saints and the Virgin Mary are on the saint pendants page.
The AK angel: silver baby angel with the gun, on its chain or alone
Take the silver set if you need a chain too, since the set sold most. It is .925 silver and 1.7 inches tall, on a 2 mm silver chain of 22 or 24 inches. The pendant alone weighs 16 grams for a chain you already own, and it can be dipped in yellow gold on request. A dipped piece is final sale. In 14K the angel comes small at 1.7 inches or large at 2.25, in yellow, white or rose.
How big: angel pendant size in inches and grams
Most angels sold in the year stood 1.7 inches tall, the AK angel's height. The plain charms and the wings run 1.1 to 1.4 inches. They weigh under 8 grams, light enough for a thin chain. The AK and praying angels weigh about 15 to 27 grams. Eight showpieces pass 40 grams, and the archangel is the biggest at 4.25 inches. Read the grams before you choose the chain.
Metal and diamonds: silver, 10K, 14K or 18K angel necklace, natural diamonds
Most angels here are 14K gold, and nearly every gold listing offers yellow, white and rose. 10K, paler and with less gold, is on the two charms and one Greek-motif piece. Two are 18K. Four are .925 silver, and silver carried most of the year's sales because of the AK angel. Every angel with diamonds lists them as natural. The grades printed most are G color and SI1 clarity. The half angel half bat pairs black diamonds with a red stone, and the angel cross set carries a ruby.
Buying: the chain, custom angels, photo pendants and returns
Four angels come as sets on their own chain. For an angel bought alone, send the live chat the millimeters of your chain before paying, and we confirm the bail slides over it. For an angel of your own design, start at custom pendants. The heart-shaped angel pendant holds a photo you send us.
To return an angel, reach customer service at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832 inside fourteen days of delivery. An unworn, unaltered angel then rides back on a return label we issue, and the refund policy takes off five percent restocking plus that label's cost. Anything made or changed for you is final sale. With a question about one angel, start in the live chat. You can also call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
