Sticklers will want name removed from such jewellery (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pendants

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sticklers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'want name removed from such jewellery' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'pen' and 'pen' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pendants that I've seen before include "Bits of jewellery" , "Hanging ornaments, often on necklace" , "Items of jewellery" , "They hang around the neck" .)
