What size cross pendant should I choose?

Choosing Cross Size

Cross size depends on personal preference and how you want to wear it. Small crosses (under 1 inch) are subtle and understated. Medium crosses (1-1.5 inches) are classic everyday size. Large crosses (over 1.5 inches) make a statement. Consider chain length and your frame when choosing.

  • Small (under 1 inch): Subtle, delicate
  • Medium (1-1.5 inches): Classic, versatile

  • Match size to your frame
  • Consider chain length and weight
What gold purity is best for crosses?

Gold Purity for Crosses

14K gold is the most popular choice for crosses, offering good durability and value. 18K has a richer color for special pieces. 10K is most affordable and durable. For detailed or intricate designs, higher karat gold shows finer detail. Match the karat to your chain.

  • 14K: Best balance, most popular
  • 18K: Richer color, special occasions
  • 10K: Most durable and affordable
  • Higher karat for detailed designs
  • Match karat to chain
Can I add diamonds to a gold cross?

Diamond Crosses

Diamond accents add sparkle and significance to gold crosses. Diamonds can outline the cross, fill the center, or accent key points. Pave settings create continuous sparkle. Larger diamonds at intersections create focal points. Diamond crosses make meaningful gifts for religious milestones.

  • Outline designs trace the cross shape
  • Pave creates all-over sparkle
  • Center diamonds add focal point
  • Great for baptisms, confirmations
  • Mix with plain gold for contrast
How should I care for my gold cross?

Caring for Your Cross

Gold crosses are often worn daily and need regular care. Clean gently with mild soap and soft brush, especially in detailed areas. Dry completely before wearing. Store flat or hanging to prevent chain tangles. Remove before showering to prevent soap buildup. Check bail attachment regularly.

  • Clean detailed areas with soft brush
  • Dry thoroughly after cleaning
  • Store properly to prevent tangles
  • Remove before showering
  • Check bail security periodically

Buyer's Guide

14K Gold Chains Buying Guide

14K gold hits the sweet spot between durability and value. It's the most popular gold purity in the US for good reason. Here's what to know when shopping for 14K chains.

Why 14K Gold?

14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength. This matters because pure gold is soft—too soft for everyday jewelry.

Durability: Resists scratches and dents better than 18K or 24K.
Value: Costs less than higher karats while still being real gold.
Longevity: Holds up to daily wear without excessive damage.
Hypoallergenic options: Can be alloyed without nickel for sensitive skin.

For chains you'll wear regularly, 14K is often the smartest choice.

Chain Styles

Cable: Interlocking oval links. Classic, works with pendants.

Rope: Twisted links create a textured surface. Catches light beautifully.

Box: Square links create a sleek, modern look. Very strong.

Figaro: Pattern of short links then one long link. Italian origin, distinctive look.

Cuban/Curb: Flattened, interlocking links. Bold appearance, very durable.

Franco: V-shaped links interlock smoothly. Strong, lies flat.

Wheat/Spiga: Twisted oval links create a woven look. Flexible and comfortable.

Thickness and Weight

Chain thickness (measured in mm) affects look, durability, and price:

1-2mm: Delicate, best for pendants or layering. Handle with care.
2.5-3.5mm: Medium weight, versatile. Can be worn alone or with pendants.
4-6mm: Substantial presence. Better for wearing alone.
7mm+: Bold statement pieces. Heavy, expensive.

Solid chains are more durable than hollow chains. Hollow chains feel lighter but can dent or kink if mishandled.

Length Guide

16": Sits at base of neck (choker style). Best for smaller frames.
18": Most popular length. Falls at collarbone.
20": Falls a few inches below collarbone.
22-24": Falls mid-chest. Popular for men or longer looks.
30"+: Statement lengths. Can be doubled.

Consider your neck size, build, and how you plan to wear the chain (with or without a pendant, tucked under a shirt, etc.).

Color Variations

Yellow gold: Classic gold color. The alloy mix creates traditional warm tones.

White gold: Mixed with white metals (like palladium) and rhodium plated. Platinum look at gold prices.

Rose gold: Copper in the alloy creates pink tones. Romantic, trending style.

All three contain the same gold content—the color comes from the other 41.7% of metals in the alloy.

What to Check Before Buying

Stamp/Hallmark: Look for "14K," "585," or "14KT" stamped on the clasp.

Clasp quality: The clasp is often the weak point. Lobster claws are secure; spring rings less so.

Weight: Heavier usually means more gold content. Compare weights when shopping.

Construction: Solid vs. hollow construction affects durability and price.

Return policy: Buy from sellers who allow returns. Chains need to be seen and felt to judge.
