Pendant hangers are typically small, thin wire loops that are used to attach pendants to the tops of jewelry. Pendant hangers are typically made of metal and often have a hook on the top so the pendant can be hooked onto other metal elements in a design. Sterling silver Pendant hangers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and they may hold one or more strands of beads or be used as end caps for wire jewelry making. They can also be used for making earrings.

Pendant hangers are used to connect two different parts of the same length of wire without any other metal parts in between the two parts - as a jump ring would do. For example, you could use them to attach a large pendant to a small piece of wire. They tend to be stronger connections than jump rings because they have the wire loop on both ends so the pendant won't fall off easily.
