Rings are not for everyone; some people work with their hands, some find a ring uncomfortable, and some simply prefer a stone near the heart. Gemstone pendants answer this by setting the stone in a locket worn on a chain or silk thread.
Many are made with an open back, leaving the gem in contact with the skin as traditional Jyotish practice prefers. Settings come in silver, gold and panchdhatu, plain or in a temple design, and navratna pendants arrange all nine stones in a fixed traditional order around a central ruby. Single-stone lockets are often bezel-set, which holds a soft stone like pearl or coral more securely than prongs.
When comparing gemstone pendants, ask for the stone's weight, the metal used and a lab report for the stone. Pick a bail wide enough for your chain, take the pendant off before swimming or using chemicals, and check the setting every few months for loosening.
