What to wear?

Large pendants on a cord or chain can be worn over clothing. They will decorate a plain sweater or turtleneck, reviving and diversifying a boring look. A volume decoration, for example, a geometric shape or in ethno style, with inserts of semi-precious stones or wooden elements will suit a rough-knit sweater.
Remember, the thinner the fabric, the smaller the pendant should be, and the sleeker the chain. This applies, for example, chiffon tunic or high-cut silk top.
