Cross Pendants

Lab-grown diamond cross pendant necklace

Cross pendants have a sacred meaning for Christians. Yet beyond their religious symbolism, the shape of the cross is also linked to ancient traditions – some believe it originated from the practice of making fire by rubbing two sticks together. Today, many people choose jewelry cross pendants on chains for their beauty and striking design rather than for their meaning.

What styles of jewelry cross pendants exist?

Both the shape of the cross and its design style can vary widely. One of the most common and frequently used forms is the Latin cross, where the vertical bar is longer than the horizontal one, giving the piece a refined and timeless silhouette.

Now, let's take a look at the most common styles:

• Single-stone crosses. A gem placed at the intersection of the bars serves as a striking focal point. This understated yet elegant construction is perfect for a minimalist cross & chain piece.
• Partially encrusted designs. Diamonds or other stones adorn the center and edges. This results in a clean, sleek look with just the right touch of brilliance.
• Fully pavé-set pieces. Diamond cross pendants can be completely covered in stones. They exude luxury, especially when featuring multiple rows or a mix of gem colors.
• Decorative crosses. This is a more artistic interpretation with sculpted lines, scrollwork, or arrow-like elements. These accessories make a bold statement.

With such a wide range of options, picking a suitable piece can feel overwhelming. Let's break down how to make the right choice when you're buying a cross pendant as a gift.

How to select a cross-shaped pendant

When opting for a pendant for someone else, consider the occasion, the recipient's personal style, and how they plan to wear it.

Let's explore these factors in more detail:

• Occasion. For religious milestones such as baptisms or confirmations, a classic cross with clean lines is ideal. If the pendant is meant as a fashion piece, you have more freedom – just be sure to factor in other considerations mentioned below.
• Personal style. If the recipient often wears formal or office attire, go for a refined design with several stones. For someone who loves glamorous looks, a gorgeous diamond cross pendant necklace feels right at home. For casual style fans, a small, minimalistic cross makes for a practical and stylish choice.
• Wearing style. If you don't buy a chain to a cross, find out how the person plans to wear it. This helps determine the appropriate loop size of the pendant – it should be smaller for thin chains and larger for thicker ones, or necklaces.

Of course, it's also essential to consider the recipient's jewelry preferences. Someone who wears classic rings and bracelets may appreciate a timeless piece, while trendsetters might love a bolder designer cross pendant.
