Stainless Steel Cross Necklaces & Pendants

Stainless steel cross necklaces, made for every day

Every cross necklace in this collection is made of stainless steel, a hard and dense metal that keeps its shape and its polish with ordinary wear. You will find simple Latin crosses, Celtic and Templar crosses, crosses with scripture and pieces with accent stones, in polished silver, gold or black finishes. Each piece lists its material, finish, chain and pendant size in its details, so you know exactly what you are choosing.

How to choose your stainless steel cross

• The finish. Silver is the natural colour of the steel. Gold, rose gold and black are finishes applied to the steel: a colour choice, not a different metal.
• The size. A pendant of 2 to 3 cm looks discreet; from 5 cm it becomes a statement piece, like our large cross necklaces.
• The chain. 45 to 50 cm sits at the collarbone, 55 to 60 cm on the upper chest. Box and link chains are the sturdiest for daily wear, and the size guide on each piece shows where every length falls.
• For him or for her. Bolder crosses on longer chains are usually chosen by men, finer crosses and accent stones by women. Browse cross necklaces for men or cross necklaces for women.

Why steel for a cross you wear every day

Steel is a good choice for a cross worn every day: it does not bend easily and it keeps its shine. A coloured finish can soften over the years with friction, so take your necklace off for the gym, swimming and the shower, and keep it away from perfume and lotions. Our stainless steel jewelry care guide explains the simple routine, and our 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects such as a clasp that fails.
