Metal Pendants with Crystals for Jewellery Making, Bracelets, Necklaces and Earrings

Metal pendants with crystals have a metal base adorned with sparkling crystals or coloured stones. They’re ideal for bracelets, necklaces, earrings, keychains and personalised gifts.

In this category you’ll find crystal pendants in all sorts of shapes: hearts, flowers, butterflies, stars, animals, letters, symbols and other themed motifs. Choose from silver, gold, white, grey and other metal tones, paired with crystals in a range of colours.

Crystal Pendants: Materials, Shapes and Sizes

• Materials. A metal base set with crystals, decorative stones or other sparkling details, depending on the model.
• Shapes. Hearts, flowers, butterflies, stars, animals, letters and all kinds of symbols for personalised jewellery and gifts.
• Sizes and holes. Go for small models as a delicate accent, or larger pendants as the centrepiece. Hole sizes vary by model, so check the product description before you choose.
• Durability. The metal base is sturdy and durable, but the set crystals could be quite delicate. Protect them from knocks, moisture and harsh cleaning products.

To find the right jewellery base, browse our metal jewellery chains and metal jump rings, matching them to the hole size and the style of the pendant.

How to choose a crystal pendant

Start by figuring out what kind of project you’re making:

• For bracelets and earrings. Go for more compact models. For earrings, pick two that are close in shape and size and pair them with suitable earring findings.
• For necklaces. Larger pendants make a striking centrepiece, while smaller ones suit finer or layered designs.
• For a balanced design. A crystal pendant already brings plenty of sparkle, so pair it with natural stones or simple beads rather than overloading the design with more shiny pieces.
• For gifts and personalised projects. Choose a letter, heart, flower or symbol with special meaning and pair it with a suitable chain and a gift box.
• For seasonal charms and small accessories. The smaller models work well on charms, keychains and other decorative projects.

What other materials to look for

To finish a piece of jewellery with a crystal pendant, you’ll need a suitable jump ring, chain or cord. For a necklace, you can hang the pendant straight onto the chain. For bracelets or earrings, use a connecting piece that suits the design.

For a more polished finish, use metal jewellery jump rings and other metal jewellery findings and parts.

How to care for crystal pendants

To keep the crystals sparkling and their decorative finish intact, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, creams and harsh cleaning products.

Clean gently with a soft dry cloth, without rubbing. Store finished jewellery somewhere dry and, where possible, away from other hard metal pieces that could scratch the surface.
