Six Different Cross Necklace Styles

Reading Time: 4 minutes

It all began with a cross. Commemorate the beginning of a faith journey with the gift of a cross necklace from Borsheims. 

Metal Cross Necklace

The choice of metal for a cross can hold profound significance in Christian traditions. Gold, for instance, symbolizes divinity, royalty and the eternal nature of God. Traditional yellow gold cross necklaces are classic and convey a sense of spiritual richness. The metal’s warm, natural hue works beautifully in both ornate and simple designs. White gold cross necklaces are a sleek and modern style that combine the luxury of gold with a cool tone. Rose gold, with its soft pink tint, has grown increasingly popular in recent years for its romantic and feminine charm. Silver cross necklaces, associated with purity, redemption and the price of salvation, are another meaningful choice. Sterling silver, the most commonly used form of silver in jewelry, is both durable and easy to maintain. Platinum cross necklaces stand out as a rare, high-end option, offering exceptional durability and a brilliant silvery finish. Its resistance to tarnishing makes it an ideal choice for a long-lasting, luxury cross necklace.
