Got Jewelry? Hear About Our Crosses

Religious jewelry is a meaningful representation of spirituality and style. What comes to mind when you think of religious jewelry? A cross may obviously be the first thing affiliated with it, but there are also well-known symbols such as the fish and the Star of David that can also be used as religious symbols sported on jewelry. The cross, however, may be the most popular religious symbol, and thus, modeled most heavily on religious jewelry.

When it comes to these three religious symbols, there are many options of styles and materials used to depict religious jewelry. Let’s narrow that search, by spotlighting crosses, as the following featured crosses will help you get started on finding the perfect religious jewelry for you.

Catholic Crucifix-Details and depiction are two words that sum up observations of a catholic crucifix. In silver or gold, a Catholic Crucifix is distinguished by a suffering Christ against the Cross.

A Catholic cross, given as a gift, will serve as a memorable reminder of Christ.

Greek cross-Can you visualize what their design entails? Envision the plus sign in mathematics. The American Red Cross is the “plus sign,” but red, and wider, defined as two perpendicular, symmetrical points.

Now that you have a detailed definition of this type of cross, define this also as a Greek cross, a religious work of art, yet also a figure adorned most popularly in necklaces, bracelets, earrings or anklets.

Celtic cross-A cross that features three important aspects, a Celtic cross brings together a religious, stylish and cultural blend into a unique design. A Celtic cross consists of a traditional-style crucifix, complemented with a slightly smaller ring encircling the cross.
