Small Crucifix Necklace in 925 Sterling Silver

The figure and crossbar carry fine texture, while the rest of the cross stays smooth and polished. The pendant is 925 sterling silver, offered in a gold-tone or a silver-tone version. It hangs from a wide bail on a fine oval-link chain of 18 in (46 cm).Is a small crucifix necklace detailed enough to show the figure?Yes, the figure stays readable because its texture contrasts with the polished cross around it. At under an inch, the detail shows best up close. Look: A classic Latin cross with the figure of Christ, kept small and polished around the edges.

How does a crucifix this size look during a visit to a church?It looks modest and fitting, a clear sign of faith that does not draw attention away from the place.

If you prefer a lettered, more traditional layout, the silver crucifix is the better fit; for a simpler cross, this one is.Frequently Asked Questions Why does the pendant hang from a wide bail and a small round link?The wide bail and round link let the cross swing freely and turn to face forward as you move. The bail is broad compared with the cross, which frames the top of the pendant and gives the small crucifix a defined upper edge on the chain. Is this crucifix a fitting baptism gift for a goddaughter?Yes, a crucifix under an inch tall suits a baptism gift because it can be kept now and worn later. The figure of Christ makes the meaning of the day clear, and the gold-tone or silver-tone choice lets you match the jewelry she may wear as she grows. Is a crucifix with the figure suited to every Christian tradition?A crucifix showing the figure of Christ is most closely tied to Catholic and Orthodox devotion. Many Protestant traditions use an empty cross instead, focusing on the resurrection. If the wearer belongs to one of those churches, a plain cross may feel closer to her practice.
