Jewelry worn around the neck is often the largest and most conspicuous.  Gemstones too large to wear comfortably in a ring or in earrings can be suspended from the neck with little discomfort or impediment to movement.  The terms “necklace” and “pendant” are often used interchangeably, but necklaces and pendants are in fact two distinct items.  A necklace is a piece of jewelry worn around the neck.  A pendant is a jewel that is worn suspended from a chain.

Necklaces have been worn since the dawn of civilization.  The earliest necklaces were made of natural shells or stones.  These were replaced by fashioned beads, which have been found in prehistoric grave sites.  The ancient Egyptians routinely made beads of glass and glazed pottery and would fashion these items into necklaces.
