Occasional Dressing:
Opt for a gemstone-studded white gold cross on a box or rope chain. This style shines at religious ceremonies, weddings, or family gatherings.

Always ensure the metal of the chain matches or complements your pendant’s tone—especially important for gold plated or white gold designs.
