Pick the animal, then read the inches and grams, then choose gold or silver and the chain
Pick the animal first, and if she has no favorite, start with a teddy bear. The bears are the deepest shelf here, nearly all 14K gold with small natural diamonds. Then judge size by width and grams, never by the name, since the bear called heavy weighs what the plain one does. Most pieces sit under an inch wide. Most come without a chain, so plan one or take a set.
Which animal: teddy bear, elephant, turtle, cat and owl pendants for women
Start with a teddy bear when she has no favorite animal. Eight of the 29 pieces are bears, seven of them 14K gold with small natural diamonds. Six of the eight found a buyer in the year.
The silver eagle claw gripping a tiger's eye sold most here in the year, about three pieces in four. It is bold and heavy, and it also hangs with the men's. For something small, look at the cats, bees, bunny and owl.
Size and weight: how big a women's animal pendant is, in inches and grams
Go by the inches and grams on each listing, since names mislead. The Heavy Trax bear weighs 10.7 grams. The plain one weighs 10.6.
The typical piece measures three quarters of an inch across. It weighs about 8 grams. Elephants, the puppy and lions run bigger, from 1.25 inches. Two showpieces stand apart, a heart-shaped bird three inches wide and a one-of-a-kind aquarium past four. The lightest is the 14K cat, under 2 grams.
Gold, silver and diamonds: 14K gold animal pendants, .925 silver, natural or lab-grown
For a pendant she never takes off, choose 14K gold. It is 17 of the 29, and nearly every gold piece lets you pick yellow, rose or white. The eight in .925 silver include a lion, the horse, two elephants and the claw.
Diamonds sit on 22 pieces, and every one names its origin. Eighteen are natural, mostly small accents. The baby elephant, the iced puppy, the claw and the aquarium carry lab-grown stones. The owl has sapphire eyes, the turtles peridot and opal shells.
The chain: animal pendant necklace, chain sets, 18 to 24 inches
Plan a chain, since most sell as the pendant alone. The two turtles, the silver bear set and the baby elephant come on a chain you size from 18 to 24 inches. Otherwise an 18 inch chain sits near the collarbone. A small bear or cat rides well on a fine cable. The lions and the claw pass 20 grams, so give them a rope or box chain. Tell us her chain's width and we check the loop first.
Pet portraits and custom: pet photo pendants, made to order, returns
She can wear her own dog or cat. Three pieces hold a pet's photo, a 14K plate ringed in diamonds, a plain 14K portrait and a silver disc with small diamonds. Send the picture on the live chat and ask about the wait. Three bears say made to order, and the claw's listing allows 2 to 3 weeks.
A stock piece may come back within fourteen calendar days of delivery, unworn, unaltered and boxed. Clear it with customer service first, at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832, and it rides back on our return label. That label's shipping and a five percent restocking fee are taken off what we refund. A pet portrait, or anything made for one person, is final. Any animal question goes to the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
