How to wear it
Each small hoop holds a cross with flared, pointed arms that hangs just below the lobe. The dark finish suits black clothes, leather and a gothic or rock style, and it looks just as right with a plain white T-shirt.
The stainless steel can stay in for the shower and the gym, so they are easy to wear every day. Try one in each ear, or one cross with a plain stud on the other side. They make a small, personal Christmas gift for a friend or a teenager who likes a darker look.
Questions
Is this a gothic or satanic symbol?
No. It is a Christian cross with flared, pointed arms, a shape that comes from medieval heraldry. Only the dark finish gives it a gothic feel.
Are they sold as a pair?
The product page describes them as earrings, each with its own hoop and cross. Check the photos and the cart line to confirm the quantity before ordering.
How is it different from The Dark Cross earring?
The Midnight Cross has flared, pointed arms and comes in one dark finish. The Dark Cross is a plain Latin cross on a hinged hoop, in black, gold or silver, sold single or as a pair.
Can I wear just one?
Yes. Each earring has its own hoop and cross, so you can wear one alone and a plain stud on the other ear.
Can a teenage boy wear them?
Yes. Small dark hoops with a cross are worn by men and women alike, and suit a young man with an edgy style.
Will they fit a regular piercing?
Yes. They are hoop earrings for a standard ear lobe piercing.
My son is 15 and only wears black. Band shirts, a pierced ear, the whole thing. His dad thinks he's going off the rails. I think he's just lonely, and he does still come to Mass. I want to get him a cross he won't hate.
You may be the only person in his life looking past the shirts, and that may matter more than either of you knows. A boy who dresses all in black and still comes to Mass is telling you something, and it is not that he has gone off the rails. The Midnight Cross, is a cross earring with flared, pointed arms close to a medieval sword cross, with a gothic edge. A style as dark as night and a faith full of light. Leave it on his bed with no note, or only: 'Saw this and thought of you.' Pray for him while you fold the band shirts. You could even ask him to play you one of the songs.

Its meaning
A cross with flared, pointed arms
Medieval heraldry gave the cross dozens of shapes.
Knights and families painted it on banners and coats of arms with arms that flare, split, curl or end in a point, and each version received its own name. All of them remain the same sign of Christ. These earrings carry crosses with flared, pointed arms, close in outline to a medieval sword cross, hanging from small hoops. The stainless steel has a dark finish, which gives the cross a strong, almost gothic edge while keeping its shape traditional and easy to read.
Giving it as a gift
For a friend who dresses in black and still wants to wear her faith, or a teenage son with a gothic streak. A small Christmas gift that feels personal.
