Abstract: Pending is part of traditional jewellery, often used to complement Malay clothing. Aristocratic people usually wear this pending on the waist on special occasions and gatherings, such as weddings and cultural events. Since Pending is no longer as popular as it once was, this study suggests improving and innovating existing functions. New mechanisms have shown viable replacements for traditional features. This study aims to resurrect the Pending into a modern multi-function buckle as a contemporary fashion accessory in Malaysia. Qualitative research involving observation and description analysis is applied using a formal analysis approach. This research helps to preserve Malaysia’s culture and become a reference point for academics, designers, goldsmiths, historians, and other related professions in art, culture, and heritage of traditional jewellery.
