The Cross Necklace

THE CROSS NECKLACE

The Cross necklace is the most popular genre of the Category of the Silver necklace. There are many types of jewelry. Necklaces, Earrings, Rings, Toe Rings and so forth. Of the necklace category the Silver necklace is the most popular because sterling silver is the most affordable precious metal to make jewelry out of.

Add to that, the fact that sterling silver is the most reflective of all precious metals and you begin to see why the silver necklace is so popular. Under the broad category of silver necklaces are many other genres of necklaces. The sterling silver cross necklace is by far the most popular. In fact in any precious metal the cross necklace is the most favored type of necklace.



As we drill down through the different types of silver necklaces, then cross necklaces we find ourselves at the genre Cross Necklaces for Men. There are all types of sterling silver cross necklaces or all types of christian religions and then some. In addition to dividing cross necklaces by religion affliliation they are diveded by gender. Not only are there cross necklaces for men but there are cross necklaces for women.

The mens cross necklace has cross necklaces from all genres that has a design that appeal to men. That is the primary sort of thing that makes them a mens cross necklace. But there is one more thing to add to it.  There are many cross necklaces for men that are design just for men. For some reason that doesn't stop the women from wearing a mens cross necklace. I guess to be fair...many men will buy from the cross necklaces for women collection making it a mens cross necklace.

Some times you have to wonder is the gender issue for real? Are there cross necklaces really just for men and just for women? I think from a designers point of view the answer would be yest but show me one jewelry designer who would refuse to sell a mens cross necklace to a woman to wear? I guess that answer is yes and no or a matter of perspective.



Silver Irish Cross Necklaces are a brilliant design of a cross necklace and a very popular one at that. Earlier we talked about cross necklaces for all kinds of religions but likewise there are cross necklaces for culture and countries. The silver Irish cross necklace would appear to be something like that.  However, becasue the Celts predate the Irish culture, the Irish culture carries alot of Celtic symbolism in its jewelry. Often the Celtic cross necklace and the Irish cross necklace appear to be one in the same. It's really a matter of perspective.

I meet an Irishman on Facebook and asked him about the difference between a Irish cross necklace and a Celtic cross necklace. His answer was there is no difference. In Ireland we all call them Irish Cross necklaces. The Celtic cross necklace may just be an American perception. Who know. Either way you pronounce it: Irish or Celtic it's still a mighty fine cross necklace!

HandCraftedcollectibles (HCC) provides a great collection of sterling silver necklaces and sterling silver Cross necklaces. Inside the mens cross necklace genra are a few examples. Remeber our conversation earlier in this jewelry blog. Don't let the names fool you. You see, you like, you buy. No ones going to say no to that and I dont HCC will either.
