Sterling Silver Cross Pendant Necklaces

A plain 925 sterling silver cross on a fine cable chain is one of the most universal fine jewelry gifts available across religious and cultural backgrounds. Sterling silver requires periodic polishing to maintain brightness. For the full silver necklace range including cross pendant styles, browse silver necklaces.

Cross Pendants as Necklaces

Cross pendants are worn as necklaces, typically on a fine cable or box chain in matching metal. An 18-inch chain sits at the collarbone and is the most flattering length for a cross pendant in standard sizes. Larger cross pendants may suit 20 to 22 inches for a lower, more prominent chest position. For the full necklace range across all pendant styles, browse necklaces.
