Unicorn Pendant

Unicorn pendant sizing and what to expect

This unicorn pendant measures 7/16 inch wide and 25/32 inch tall, so it is smaller than a dime. That is deliberate. A child can wear it all day without the weight pulling at the neck, and the colored enamel stays easy to see even at that size.

The silver is 925 sterling with a pure silver E-coat finish, which slows tarnish. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear and keep it out of the bath or pool.

Choosing a chain for a unicorn pendant necklace

Since the pendant comes alone, the chain is the next decision. For a toddler, a 13 to 14 inch chain sits at the collarbone and is hard to snag. School-age girls usually do well with 16 inches. Teens and adults can go to 18 inches.

Thin chains suit a piece this light. A heavy curb link would swallow it. If the necklace is for a baby or a very young child, we suggest a gift to be worn only when an adult is watching, since any chain can be a risk during sleep.

Pairing it with other pendants

Many buyers build a small set for sisters or cousins. The pendant looks good next to a turquoise flower pendant for a child who likes color, or a ballerina pendant for one who dances. Older girls who want something less sweet sometimes pick a buck necklace instead.

Is a unicorn pendant a good gift?

For birthdays, first communions and holiday stockings, yes. It fits in a small box and needs no sizing, which removes the usual gift guesswork. Most people spend around $20 to $40 on a sterling piece like this, chain included, though prices vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the unicorn pendant safe for sensitive skin?

Sterling silver is generally gentle on skin. The pure silver plating adds a smooth layer on top. If your child reacts to metals, test it for an hour or two first.

Does the enamel chip?

Colored enamel is durable under normal wear. A hard knock on a floor or table edge can still chip it. Store the pendant separately in a pouch.

Can I wear it on a bracelet or key ring?

The bail is made for a chain, so a bracelet works only if the loop is wide enough for a clasp ring. Check the chain you plan to use before you buy.

How do I know it is real silver?

Look for the 925 hallmark stamped on the piece. It marks sterling silver, meaning 92.5 percent pure silver.
