Cross Necklace for Style or Statement

Silver Cross Necklace
For centuries a cross necklace was the epitome of Christian jewelry. The person wearing the cross was making a profession of faith. The cross identified the wearer as a Christian. This is not necessarily the case any more. Today cross necklaces can be fashionable or gaudy, large or small, expensive or cheap. They are made from a variety of materials and may or may not be embellished with precious and/or semi precious stones.
A Celtic cross necklace is worn by both men and women. They are generally larger and more cumbersome than a traditional cross pendant. A Celtic cross is defined by its ornate, filigree design. They are often fashioned from silver, pewter and wood. Because of their innate beauty they are often worn as a stylish piece of jewelry as opposed to being worn to identify with a religious belief system.
Cross necklaces and pendants are the focal point of a cross necklace set or a set of Christian Jewelry. A set may include other adornments such as Christian rings, bracelets, earrings and pins. Many sets are crafted in silver, gold or white gold. Although expensive, a platinum cross necklace is worth the expense because it is truly exquisite.
Men’s cross necklaces are quite often larger than styles worn by women. As with women’s cross necklaces, the cross may or may not be embellished with the figure of Jesus on it. If the figure is on the cross it is a crucifix necklace. While many crucifixes are fashioned from gold or silver, wood crucifix necklaces are also an option and generally are hung from a leather strap. They tend to be large and worn with casual, everyday fashion. Another type of cross that is commonly worn for everyday wear is the large pewter type. Pewter crosses are also commonly hung from a leather strap but may be hung on sterling silver or stainless steel as well.
As with any other type of jewelry, cross necklaces and cross necklace sets can be found in stores ranging from discount retailers to fine jewelry shops. Cross jewelry can be extremely expensive if crafted from gold and precious stones or it can be inexpensive if wood, stainless steel, sterling or pewter. A cross necklace can be worn for any occasion and with any fashion. Because there are so many to choose from you will easily be able to find one that meets your needs and fits your budget.
