Tachyon pendants and jewellery

Some things go on in the morning without a second thought: a watch, a ring, a chain. Tachyon pendants are built around that habit. It's a small piece you wear from breakfast to bedtime, and after a few days you stop noticing it's there.

The pendants are crystals, opals or cubic zirconia set in silver or gold-coloured metal, all of them tachyonized. Tachyon suggests wearing a pendant on the chest, just below the collarbones. For the Orb, Mini-V and Freedom lines, the maker says the pendant lifts your personal energy and keeps it coherent and balanced through the day. The category also has earrings, a sterling silver chain and the Pet Pendant, which clips onto a dog's or cat's collar.

How to choose

Most people go by what they would wear anyway. The Orb Pendant is a small sphere that suits a T-shirt as well as a shirt, which makes it our first pick. The Mini-V Pendant is a slim V-shaped piece that comes in several colour finishes. The Freedom Pendant is larger and more striking, and Tachyon lists it among its best sellers. The opal pendants with zirconia accents feel more like jewellery for special occasions; you'll find them in the table by name, such as Wave, Radiance or Heart.

If you don't have a chain at home, the maker sells a 60 cm sterling silver box chain.
