What is a "pendant"?

A pendant is a decorative element that hangs down from a surface, often used in architecture and design. This feature can take various forms, such as a drop-shaped ornament or a light fixture, and is commonly found in ceilings, doorways, or decorative moldings. Pendants add visual interest and elegance to a space, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. In architecture, pendants can be made from materials like metal, glass, or stone, contributing to the overall style and character of the building. They enhance the design by creating focal points and drawing the eye downward.
