How to wear it

This small, flat cross hangs from an O-link chain that closes with a lobster clasp, so it stays discreet and lies close to the skin. Wear it alone over a plain T-shirt or a blouse, tuck it under a collar for work, or layer it with a longer chain or a saint medal.

The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym. Choose the silver, gold or rose gold tone that matches the jewelry already in use. Its plain form suits a baptism keepsake, a confirmation, a godparent's gift or simply everyday wear.

Questions

Which tone should I choose: silver, gold or rose gold?

Match the jewelry the person already wears. Silver is the most neutral, gold tone is warmer against the skin, and rose gold is the softest of the three.

Is it OK to wear a cross as jewelry?

Yes, when it is worn with respect for what it means. Christians have worn the cross as a visible sign of their faith for centuries, and a plain cross like this one is made for daily wear.

Is The Simple Cross a good gift when I don't know their style?

Yes, that is what it is for. A small flat Latin cross with nothing added goes with any outfit, and every Christian tradition recognizes it.

What is the difference between a cross and a crucifix?

A crucifix shows the body of Christ on the cross; a cross does not. This necklace is a plain cross.

Can The Simple Cross stay on day and night, workouts included?

Yes. The cross, O-link chain and lobster clasp are stainless steel, which does not rust. On the gold and rose gold tones, perfume and pool chlorine are what wear the finish, not sweat or shower water.

Is it a good baptism gift for a baby?

Yes, as a keepsake to put away until the child is older, since necklaces are not recommended for babies and toddlers to wear. It is also an easy gift for a godchild's confirmation.

Cross necklace for women that is simple and minimalist

Taking everything away is its own kind of prayer. Nothing added, nothing to explain. The Simple Cross is a small flat Latin cross, in silver, gold or rose gold tone, on an O-link chain of 40 to 45 cm. The Sideways Cross lies along the chain, about 2 cm, light enough to forget and close enough to feel. Both are stainless steel. More: Simple Cross Necklace Womens.

How do I choose a cross necklace that will last for years?

Three things decide it. Stainless steel does not rust and can stay on daily. A box, curb or O-link chain with a lobster clasp holds better than a fine one. And choose a size you will not get tired of: under 3 cm is discreet, 4 cm and up is seen. A cross you keep for decades ends up holding your whole story. The Simple Cross is a small flat Latin cross with a lobster clasp. The Polished Cross is two slim rods on a box chain. Every piece has a 1-year warranty against defects.

Where can I find cross necklaces where the meaning and material are clearly explained?

You are right to ask. A cross you will wear next to your skin should come with an honest account of what it means and what it is. On these product pages, each piece explains its symbol and states its material. The Devotional Cross is the classic Latin cross in polished stainless steel, silver or gold. The Celtic Knot Cross carries knotwork read as eternity. The Reverent Nails binds two nails into a cross, recalling the Passion. All crosses: Cross Necklaces.

Dainty cross necklace that won't tangle

Few things are more discouraging than a tiny knot at 7 in the morning when all you wanted was to put your cross on. Single-pendant chains tangle less than layered ones, and storing a necklace flat, clasp fastened, helps more than anything. The Simple Cross is one small flat cross on an O-link chain. The Graceful Y is a fine Y that lets the small cross hang on its own. Fasten it each morning like a small prayer: that is what it is for.

My first grandchild was born Tuesday. I held him and I can't stop thanking God. His parents are planning his baptism. What should a grandmother give?

You held him and something in you went straight to thanks, and that's the right place to start, because a grandmother's prayers tend to outlast everything else in a child's life. Psalm 127:3 says it: "children are an heritage of the LORD." The Simple Cross is a small flat Latin cross with nothing added, a first cross for the day of welcome. It's simple enough to stay with him his whole life. Keep it in its box until he's old enough. Write him a letter to open at eighteen about the day you held him, and the prayer you said.

The Simple Cross

Its meaning

A cross with no ornament

The Latin cross, with its longer lower arm, is traditionally the shape of the cross on which Jesus died.

Early Christians rarely showed it openly; by the fourth century it had become the sign of the faith. Wearing a plain cross says two things at once: what happened on Good Friday, and what Christians believe came after it. With no figure and no ornament, it belongs to every Christian tradition, which is why it is so often given to a godchild or a friend. Here it is a small, flat Latin cross on an O-link...

Giving it as a gift

A safe choice for a baby's baptism, a godchild's confirmation or a friend whose style you do not know well. As a Christmas gift, its plainness suits almost anyone who shares the faith.
