Cross Pendants

This category holds 32 cross pendants set with moissanite. Some carry one stone at the center of a plain cross, others line the arms with round, baguette or marquise stones, and a few add details such as a clover center, a ribbon bail, scrollwork, a hammered texture or small butterflies. Nearly all are 925 sterling silver, often plated in rhodium, platinum, white gold or yellow gold.

Crosses cost EUR 32 to EUR 233, and stone weights go from under 0.5 ct to over 2 ct; 18 crosses carry 1 to 1.99 ct. A slim cross with one stone or a single row stays discreet under a collar, while the eleven-stone cross totaling 2.75 ct is easy to see. Several come on a 16- or 18-inch cable chain (about 40 or 46 cm), and some chains are adjustable.

A cross pendant is a traditional gift for a baptism, first communion or confirmation, and one design has a blessing engraved on the reverse. The moissanite itself handles daily wear well, while the plating lasts longer with some care: take the cross off before swimming or the gym and clean it only with a soft cloth.
