Sterling Silver Grenade Pendant — 15g .925 Solid Silver
SKU: 1173
The grid pattern on this grenade pendant isn't flat — it's raised. Each square sits slightly above the groove around it, and the oxidized blackening pools in those grooves to create contrast you can feel with your fingernail. Modeled after the classic MK2 pineapple grenade, this .925 sterling silver pendant carries 15 grams of solid weight at 32mm tall. The bail connects through a small gothic cross loop — a detail most people don't notice until the second or third look.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want edge without skulls — The grenade shape gives you a tough, rebellious look without defaulting to the standard biker skull motif. It reads military and tactical, which works in streetwear and moto culture equally well.
If you fidget with your jewelry — The raised grid texture is satisfying to roll between your thumb and finger. The surface has enough relief that you can feel individual squares, and the pendant is compact enough (32mm × 13mm) to spin in your hand without getting in the way.
If you collect military-inspired accessories — The MK2 grenade design dates to the 1940s. This pendant captures the silhouette accurately — segmented body, fixed pin and lever, rounded base. The gothic cross on the bail adds a different era's aesthetic without clashing.
What It's Like to Use (The Honest Take)
Because it's solid silver, the pendant starts cool against skin and warms to body temperature within a few minutes. That temperature shift is something you notice the first few times you put it on. The oxidized grooves give the surface a gritty, used look — the kind of patina that makes new silver look like it's been carried for years.
The polished high points on the grid squares catch light when you move. Not flashy, but enough that someone across a table notices the texture. At 15 grams, it hangs straight on a chain without pulling. You don't feel the weight on your neck after the first hour.
Heads up: The bail loop fits chains up to about 4mm. If you wear a thick Cuban chain (6mm+), you'll need a jump ring adapter or a different pendant with a wider bail. Standard leather cords and thinner silver chains thread through easily.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
Questions You're Probably Asking
Q: Is the pin removable?
No — the pin and lever are cast as one piece with the grenade body. Moving parts at this size tend to break or snag on clothing. Keeping them fixed means nothing loosens or catches.
Q: Will the raised grid texture smooth out over time?
Very slowly. Sterling silver is a soft metal, so the highest points will develop a slightly smoother polish after months of daily wear. The grid pattern itself won't disappear — the grooves are deep enough to last years.
Q: Where does the grenade design come from?
The MK2 fragmentation grenade was standard US military issue from the 1940s through Vietnam. The segmented "pineapple" body became one of the most recognized military silhouettes ever produced. This pendant captures that shape in miniature.
Q: Does it come with a chain?
No — pendant only. You pick the chain style and length that works best for you. Browse the men's necklaces for options.
