Our Pendant Sizes, Simplified | GLDN

The classic disk necklace is like the little black dress of jewelry—perfect for all occasions, never goes out of style, timeless as can be. Whether you’re just starting your jewelry collection or have been collecting for years, if you don’t have a classic pendant necklace, it’s time to get on that! 

But which size suits your personal style and personalization dreams? Let’s compare our four most popular styles to find the fit for you.

 

 

Our Most Popular Disk Necklaces

Yue Disk Necklace

Our smallest pendant necklace in the lineup, the Personalized Yue Necklace is about the size of a x. It’s ideal for adding one tiny initial or one tiny symbol to each disk—though you can add extra pendants to one chain, if you so choose! 

If you prefer dainty, minimal jewelry with subtle customization, this is the one for Yue. The initial or symbol will be small enough so that you can’t see it far away, so it’s like a little secret from you to you! This also makes a cute necklace for children or kids, if you have any birthdays or holidays coming up.

 

Lor Disk Necklace

Taking it one size up, our Personalized Lor Necklace is a classic size—not too big, not too small, just right for everyday wear. This can fit up to two initials or a slightly larger symbol than the Yue Necklace! 

The size of this pendant makes it extremely versatile; a BFF to tees and dresses alike. If you’re just starting your pendant necklace collection, or have been on the hunt for a classic, timeless necklace that’ll literally never go out of style, you can’t go wrong with Lor.

 

Vollmond Disk Necklace

We’re now entering bold territory. Our large Personalized Vollmond Necklace can fit several initials or an attention-grabbing symbol! That said, while this piece is bold, it isn’t too bold for everyday wear. It’s still delicately designed, streamlined and simple enough to wear with your entire wardrobe.

If you love minimal jewelry that skews a bit bolder, the Vollmond may become your new everyday favorite! It comes in a high-shine smooth texture or a hand-hammered texture for extra sparkle.

 

Marama Disk Necklace

Our biggest, boldest canvas to tell your story, the Personalized Marama Necklace and Edge Marama Necklace can fit words, names or dates! If you’ve been looking for a personalized necklace with your wedding date, kids’ names or a meaningful word, Marama is the one for you.

We love wearing this disk on a long chain with tees, sweatshirts, blazers, you name it. It’s the ultimate layering piece and will quickly become your signature necklace.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right pendant size for me?

Our best advice: consider your style, wardrobe and how often you want to wear your necklace.

Look at your current jewelry: is it super dainty and minimal, or a bit bolder and eye-catching? Are there any gaps you need to fill in your jewelry wardrobe (that is, you don’t have any statement necklaces and want one, or don’t have any dainty jewelry and want to build that collection)? Let that guide you!

Look at your wardrobe: is it mostly casual, mostly dressy, mostly edgy or mostly businesswear? Once you figure this out, decide which pendant size enhances your personal style and feels like a natural fit.

 

 

Which chain lengths work best with each pendant size?

Generally speaking, the smaller the disk size, the shorter the chain you can get away with. While the tiny Personalized Yue Necklace works well on a choker-length chain, the bold Personalized Marama Necklace may look too bulky to wear high on the neck, and will be better suited to a longer chain that pulls the eye downward and creates angles on the body.

 

Can I layer different pendant sizes?

Absolutely—our disk necklaces were made to layer. To make your stack look harmonious, try wearing your larger pendant lower (with a longer chain) and your smaller pendant higher up (with a shorter chain) to create a flattering V-shape. Throw in some chunky layering chains into the mix, too, for added texture and shine.

 

 

Which pendant size should I wear with each neckline?

We wrote an entire blog about pairing necklaces with necklines (so check that out for more in-depth info) but as a TL;DR, here’s what we recommend:

• Wear a tiny Yue Necklace with v-necks, scoop necks and cowl necks
• Wear a medium Lor Necklace with keyhole necks, button-down shirts and sweetheart necks
• Wear a bold Vollmond Necklace with crew necks, boat necks and square necks 
• Wear our largest Marama Necklace with high necks, turtlenecks and one-shoulder tops 

These are just general guidelines—feel free to mix it up based on your own shape and style.

 

 

Does pendant size affect comfort?

Though our pendant necklaces are sturdy, substantial and well-crafted, all of them—even the bold Marama Necklace—are incredibly comfortable to wear! You’ll barely even know it’s there.

 

Hope you find the pendant of your dreams! ✨
