Silver And Gold Pendants – A Buyers Guide
Pendants are adornments for necklaces. The most popular styles are lockets and crucifixes. If you are looking to buy gold or silver pendants for a necklace you already own or buying a necklace with a pendant included you should find all of the relevant information included here. Pendants are often made from various precious metals and decorated with precious minerals or an engraved pattern.
Silver Pendants
Sterling silver is the standard grade used for jewellery. It is a legal requirement for silver to carry a hallmark in order to be sold in the United Kingdom. This will normally include a number. Sterling Silver should be marked ’925′.
Gold Pendants
As with most gold jewellery, pendants can be made from yellow and white gold. As gold is not naturally white it is worth being mindful that, over time white gold may need to be restored. A 9 carat, solid gold pendant could contain around 35% pure gold whereas and 18 carat solid gold pendant would contain 75% pure gold. This drastically changes the price. Any solid gold jewellery should be engraved with a hallmark. 9ct gold should have the number ’375′ engraved and 18ct gold will have ’750′.
Gemstones and Decoration
A large number of pendants include gemstones or other decorative materials with varying values. One commonly used material is mother of pearl. This is harvested from the inner layer of the shells of particular mollusks. They create this layer to form part of their shell for protection and the outer layers of pearls are made using this material which gives them their iridescent finish. Jewellery can be produced with mother of pearl decoration at a relatively low cost and can be found on pendants of various purity metals. Other precious stones may be used to decorate pendants but diamonds are a very popular addition to gold pendants. These are generally set into yellow of white gold of 18ct purity or higher.
Costs
As a rule of thumb silver pendants should be available for less than £50 unless they are particularly heavy, higher grade than sterling or are set with stones that require a higher price. Plain or engraved 9ct yellow gold pendants should cost £50 – £100. Additional stones such as Sapphire, Peridot or Amethyst may require a price tag upwards of £200. Rubies and Diamonds will cost significantly more; depending on the quality and size of the stones they will require a price tag upwards of £500. As they are normally set in high quality 18ct yellow or white gold it is not unusual for these items to cost over £1000.

Is it illegal to own great white shark tooths pendant ?
i have seen great white shark tooth’s pendants on ebay, and i want to buy one, but it is illegal ? i read they are protected and stuff and that its illegal to import them, im buyign it from within the uk. can any1 help ? 
It depends where you are. I know in South Africa it is illegal to sell or buy any part of the white shark’s teeth or jaws, but fossils are okay, so I’ve got fossilized teeth. I doubt you would ever get in trouble for it, though, unless you happen to go through SA customs.
I know that sharks shed hundreds of teeth each year, but when I went cage-diving with great whites in Gansbaai, the divemasters told me the law was passed to discourage people from hunting them.
