Pick the style first, then the size in millimeters, then whether a chain comes with it
Choose the style she will wear every day before anything else, and if you are unsure, start with a cross, the style that sells best here. Then judge the size by the millimeters and the grams, never by the word mini. Read the title for the chain, because four pieces in five come without one. If you add a chain, 18 inches is the length picked most. Take 14K gold for daily wear.
Styles: cross, hamsa, heart, initial and photo pendants for women, mini to full size
Start with a cross. It is the style we carry most and sell most, about half the sales. The gold piece bought most is a mini diamond cross in 14K.
Faith pieces sell next, the hamsa first, then the Star of David. An initial or a name makes it hers and wears bigger than a cross. Hearts are a small shelf, so buy one for the look. Most are also offered as men's, so trust the millimeters over the page name.
Size and weight: how big a women's pendant is, what it weighs, and the bail
Read the millimeters and grams, not the size word. The typical piece is about 20 by 32 mm. It weighs around 7 grams. A mini is near 14 by 22 mm. Baby is not a size here, since those run close to 39 mm across.
Weight climbs fast with width. Under 20 mm across, expect about 3 grams. Past 30 mm, plan on 17 or more. No listing prints the opening of the bail, the loop the chain runs through, so send us the width of her own chain first. The men's pendants guide matches grams to a chain.
The chain: a gold chain with pendant, the sets, and the 18 to 24 inch lengths
Most pendants here come without a chain, so look for set, chain or necklace in the title. On most sets you pick the length from the menu, from 18 up to 24 inches.
Take 18 if you cannot ask her. It was nearly half of the lengths bought with a pendant here, the crosses included. The chain and pendant sets guide shows where each length falls. Ask us whether a set's grams include its chain.
Custom: name pendants, picture pendants and memorial pendants made to order
Yes, name, photo and memorial pendants are here to order, and about a third of the pieces are marked Custom. A photo pendant that prints its size runs from half an inch up to 30 mm.
Ask us about engraving and the wait first, since a piece made for her is final. An unworn, unaltered stock pendant gets fourteen days from delivery, and customer service must say yes at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832 before it ships back on our return label. Its cost and five percent restocking come off, and coin and bar pieces follow the bullion terms in the refund policy.
Metal and stones: 14K, 10K or 18K gold and 925 silver pendants, diamond, natural or lab-grown
Take 14K gold for a pendant she never takes off. Nearly three in four pieces here are 14K, and it took most of the sales. Silver sells about as many pieces, mostly sets and logo pieces, so it weighs more.
Pick the gold color on the listing, and most buyers take yellow. About half the pieces carry diamonds, and nearly every one names its origin on the listing, natural on most. Ask about her pendant in the live chat, or text the pendant's name to 212-872-9692, which takes calls too, from 10 AM ET.
