Cross Necklaces and Pendants in Silver and Gold

A cross necklace is one of the few pieces of jewelry worn both as a statement and for personal meaning. In this collection you will find cross pendants and complete cross necklaces in silver and gold, from sleek and minimalist to fully set with stones.

Pendant or complete necklace?

A separate cross pendant can be paired with any chain you like, and you can swap it whenever you want. A complete necklace is finished as it comes and the proportions are right by default. If you buy the pendant on its own, choose the same color and material for the chain, otherwise small differences in shine will stand out.

Which chain suits a cross pendant?

Choose a link that is not too wide, so the cross sets the tone rather than the chain. A narrower king's link, box or rope works best for this. Also check that the bail of the pendant fits over the link — with a wide Cuban link that is often not the case.

Length

At 50 cm the cross sits around your collarbones, at 55 to 60 cm in the middle of your chest, and from 65 cm it falls over a shirt or hoodie. A heavier cross is more comfortable on a slightly longer chain.

Material

Stainless steel is colorfast, scratch-resistant and low-maintenance. If you want a real precious metal, have a look at 925 sterling silver. Also see the other pendants.
