Men's Pendant Necklaces
A cross, a medal, a dog tag or a lion: pendants with meaning, in gold, silver or black.
A mens pendant necklace says something about the person wearing it: a faith, a protector, a story or simply a sense of style. Our selection brings together a cross, a Saint Michael medal, a dog tag and a lion head, all in stainless steel with gold, silver or black finishes depending on the design.
Simple to wear, these pendants for men look just as good under a shirt as over a plain tee.
Choosing your pendant
Each pendant has its own character. The cross necklace is the most timeless: a clean silver-tone cross on a long chain, discreet enough for every day. The medallion necklace features Saint Michael, a traditional symbol of protection, and comes in gold, silver or black. The dog tag necklace has a polished military-inspired plate, available as a single tag or a double set and in several sizes. For a bolder statement, the lion pendant shows a roaring lion head, sold with or without its chain.
Chain length and pendant size
A pendant looks best when it falls at the center of the chest. For most men, that means a chain of 22 to 24 inches; longer chains, around 27 inches, let a larger pendant rest lower and work well over a sweater. Match the size of the pendant to your build and to the chain: a small cross or tag suits a fine chain, while a medallion or lion head needs a slightly sturdier link to hang properly. Our guide to the types of chains helps you choose the right link. Each product page lists the chain lengths and pendant dimensions available. Our necklace length chart shows where each length falls.
Gold, silver or black pendant?
Gold pendants for men feel warm and confident, especially with dark clothing or a tan. A mens silver pendant is more understated and easy to match with a steel watch. Black finishes are the most graphic and pair naturally with leather, denim and dark tones. Keep the same tone as your chain, ring or bracelet for a coherent look, and browse our men's necklaces to find a chain that suits your pendant.
Wearing and caring for your pendant
Wear your pendant over a T-shirt or an open collar to show it off, or under a shirt when you want it close but private. For a layered look, add a fine plain chain a couple of inches shorter than the pendant chain, so the two lines stay distinct and the pendant remains the focal point. Take your necklace off before the gym, a swim or sleep, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear to remove sweat. For gold-tone pieces, our guide on how to clean gold jewelry explains a gentle routine.
