Product details

A cross set with coloured stones, on an O-chain or a bead chain. Choose the colour and the chain.

Material: Stainless steel
Chain: O-shaped chain or Bead Chain
Length: 45 cm or 55 cm
Stones: Mixed gem inlay
Symbol: Cross
Packaging: Signature gift box and polishing cloth

How to wear it

Choose the chain first: the O-link cable chain gives a classic look, the bead chain a more casual one. At 45 cm the cross sits just below the collarbone, framed by a crew or V neckline; at 55 cm it falls mid-chest, over a sweater or a plain dress.

Pick the stone color she wears most: black and white are the easiest to match, blue and multicolor add more color. The cross is stainless steel; take it off for swimming and wipe the inlay dry. It is a warm Mother's Day or Christmas gift.

Questions

What is the difference between the cable chain and the bead chain?

The cable chain is a classic O-link chain; the bead chain is made of small round beads, for a lighter, more casual look. The cross is the same on both.

What length should I choose?

45 cm sits just below the collarbone and suits most women; 55 cm falls mid-chest and is easier to wear over a sweater or with a second, shorter chain.

Are the stones real gems?

The product page describes a mixed gem inlay without naming the stones. Treat them as decorative colored stones set in the steel cross.

Which stone color of The Gilded Journey Cross goes with everything?

Black or white. Blue or multicolor suits someone who likes color more than plain metal.

Is it a necklace for women?

Yes. It is designed for women, with a fine chain and a colorful cross.

How do I keep the stone inlay of The Gilded Journey Cross bright?

Take it off for the shower and the pool. The stainless steel will not rust, but water and soap dull the stones over time.

My stepmom came into my life when I was ten and I wasn't kind to her. She loved me anyway when she didn't have to. I'm grown now and I want this Mother's Day to finally say something.

A woman who loved a ten year old who wasn't kind to her has done one of the most Christian things anyone can, usually without being thanked for it. Mother's Day can be awkward for stepmothers, so tell her it's for her on purpose. The Gilded Journey Cross is a cross of colored stones and a pearl, like treasured pieces put together with care. No two pieces quite the same, like the people we love, and like the family she helped put together. Write down the thing you've never said: You didn't have to love me. You did it anyway. That's what I think of when I think of God's love.

Its meaning

The jeweled cross of early Christian art

Early Christian artists did not always show the cross bare.

In Rome, the apse mosaic of Santa Pudenziana, from the late fourth century, places a great cross covered in jewels above Christ and the apostles. Art historians call this form the crux gemmata, the jeweled cross. It presented the cross as a sign of victory and of the heavenly city, which the Book of Revelation describes as built on foundations of precious stones. This small cross keeps that idea in a modern form, with a mixed gem inlay in black, blue, red or white, on...

Giving it as a gift

For Mother's Day, pick the stone color she wears most. It also makes a warm Christmas gift for a sister or an aunt who likes color more than plain metal.
