How to design a custom pendant
The best reference shows the idea. The best brief explains what the image leaves uncertain.
Prepare clean source material
Use the clearest logo, name, portrait or sketch you have. Avoid screenshots with filters and heavy compression when possible.
Describe the silhouette
State whether you want a portrait, lettering, symbol or layered composition, plus the approximate scale.
Plan the chain connection
The bail and chain must work together. Include the chain you plan to use or ask the team to design the pairing.
Make it personal
Will the idea read at its real size?
Print or draw the design at the intended size. Check lettering and small details from normal viewing distance, then bring the chain measurements. A large reference on a phone screen can hide practical questions about readability and the bail.
