The Sterling Silver Cross Necklace

The Sterling Silver Cross Necklace

The sterling silver cross necklace is the back bone of Christian necklaces. Christian necklaces is a huge collection of necklaces with the cross necklace being the biggest part of the christian necklaces genre.



The cross necklace collection sold by HandCraftedCollectibles.com is the biggest sterling silver cross necklace collection in the world but only available in America. The cross necklace collection covers all the various genre's from ancient medieval times to Celtic cross necklaces to contemporary cross necklaces.



The silver cross necklace has countless types of cross necklaces in its collection. Many of these cross necklaces are cross over cross necklaces meaning that these silver cross necklaces belong in more than silver cross necklace genre but in other two as this example will show.

The sterling silver cross pendant that makes a cross necklace with this sterling silver box necklace chain belongs in several cross necklace genres depending on personal opinion and on the retailers marketing objectives.


It can belong in a sterling silver cross necklace category, a budded cross necklace genre, a disciples cross necklace category and even a fleur de lis cross necklaces category.

On this sterling silver cross pendant example the end caps of the cross are decorated with three buds. Because of that it is called a budded cross necklace.

It is called a disciples cross necklace because there are three buds on four end caps which means there are twelve buds, one for each of the twelve disciples which is why others call it a disciples cross necklace.

The photo below shows a more well defined Fleur de Lis cross necklace with the end caps decorated with the bottom three buds of the Fluer de Lis. The term bud is useful in the description because the Fleur de Lis is the "Lilly or flower of France".

So the last two photos of cross necklaces shown in this blog  look different but have similar elements and could all be in at least three different genres of sterling silver cross necklaces.
