Gold Cross Necklaces

The Meaning of Cross Necklaces

People have worn cross necklaces for thousands of years. It is the one type of jewelry piece that has never gone out of style. Many variations have existed throughout the centuries. The Ancient Egyptians were the first to use a cross-like symbol for their necklaces, which they called “Ankh.” It featured a looped cross symbol that represented life and fertility. The birth of Christianity after the fall of the Roman Empire led to the widespread use of the conventional cross symbol that we know today. Cross necklaces are usually worn for religious and spiritual reasons. As the cross pendant hangs close to someone’s heart it serves as a constant reminder of their devotion to Christ. Catholics and Christians wear cross necklaces to celebrate their faith and symbolize both the love and sacrifice of Jesus.

Cross necklaces are worn by people from all walks of life, regardless of their age, race, cultural background, ethnicity, and gender. The cross is the universal symbol of spirituality, protection, and good fortune. Some people even believe the cross will give them good luck and protect them from evil spirits and unfriendly supernatural forces. The cross means something different to everybody. That is what makes it such a unique and satisfying symbol. If you need one more reason to wear cross necklaces, how about their elegance and attractiveness? Modern cross necklaces are designed to be more beautiful and vibrant than they were in the old days. Our ancient ancestors used wood and stone to make their cross necklaces. But now, cross necklaces shine and gloss in total radiance whenever light shines down on them. It is almost as if the Holy Spirit is a sign that he is watching over you.

Don’t worry about the look and feel of the chains. We use rhodium-plated brass chains to match the color tone of the pendant. With some basic tender loving care, they can retain their appearance for several years. But at the end of the day, it is the cross symbol that means the most. Wearing an old or new cross necklace can still achieve the same spiritual results. It is the thought that counts, after all.

Cross Necklaces for Men, Women, and Kids

Cross necklaces are technically universe in the spiritual sense. However, you may want to consider the shape and style of a particular piece before you buy it. We have different designs that look better on men, women, and kids. If you care about your fashion statement yourself or your loved one, you should learn more about our cross necklaces for men, women, and kids.

Our men’s cross pendants typically have a simplistic shape in one of two metals: gold or silver. We have pendant sizes ranging from 0.75” to 1.25” in height. Most adult men’s necklaces feature a 24” chain ending at the base of the sternum. But if you’re looking for a smaller chain or buying them for a son, nephew, or grandson, we do offer smaller chain lengths ranging between 16” and 20”. Additional options for different edges and black-filled inlays are available as well.

Our cross necklaces for women come with smaller pendants and chains compared to the men’s. The pendant sizes range from .5” to 1.125” and most feature an 18” chain ending at the base of the sternum. Women have many more design and shape options for their pieces, and the typical design options you will see include curved sterling sashes, tapered edges, and elegantly placed cubic zirconia crystals imitating the look of a diamond cross pendant. Women and young girls may prefer cross pendants with more colors on them to match existing jewelry or an outfit, for this reason, we also offer a rose gold collection and a two-toned rose gold collection. They are quite popular amongst women and young girls looking to provide a more subtle feminine appearance. We have at least six rose gold cross necklaces for women graced with an 18-inch rhodium-plated brass chain, featuring our signature rose gold over sterling silver. Some variations have a crystal stone in the center and a pendant with heart shapes for a non-traditional look and feel.

How to Care for Your Cross Necklaces

We sell more than mere pieces of jewelry. Anyone who cares about the significance of the cross symbol should treat their necklaces with respect. One of the primary responsibilities of owning a cross necklace is to keep it sparkling clean and radiant. Otherwise, the vibrant gold, rose gold, and rhodium colors may start to fade away.

Here are some basic tips for cleaning and caring for your jewelry:

• Take off your necklace before applying hairspray, make-up, perfume or other chemical-based substances to your body.
• Don’t wear while exercising or staying outside in the heat for a long time. Your bodily sweat may diminish the appearance of the sheen.
• Wash your hands before touching and putting on the necklace. You want to make sure that no other chemicals or substances are on your hands before touching.
• Don’t swim in any chlorinated pools or saltwater while wearing the jewelry. The salts and chemicals will break down the metals and sterling silver more quickly.
• Soak the pendant in a bowl of warm water and mild dishwashing liquid. Then use soft cleaning materials, such as a cotton swab or microfiber cloth, to clean.
• It is best to clean after you have worn it. This will ensure that you have removed all the sweat, dirt, and other debris that may have gotten onto it from your body or clothes.
• Store the necklace on a soft surface inside a hard shell, such as a gift box or jewelry case. Many of our pieces include a deluxe gift box with the order.

Most of these tips should be self-explanatory. The main idea is to keep away from chemicals and excessive amounts of bodily perspiration. Periodically clean the necklace with warm water and mild soap, and wipe it down with a cotton swab or microfiber cloth. Wear it during casual occasions that don’t involve a lot of physical exercise and sweatiness. That is really all you have to remember.
