Mens Cross Necklaces
Many mens cross necklaces come from crusader styles crosses and heraldic crosses. During the Christian crusades various armies used certain symbols on their crosses and for decoration on their horses and swords. This tradition continued through the medieval times and beyond. Crusader crosses used by knights and other warriors evolved into Heraldic symbols as well.
These similar types of crosses were used on military flags. Many flags around the world still use crosses on them. Many of these crusader crosses are used as cross pendants on cross necklaces for men.
How many crosses can you see in this cross pendant? I see six crosses. Each end cap has a very small cross designed in it. Their is a outlined cross and a solid cross much bigger and in the center of the pendant. Can you see more than six crosses?
Especially mens cross necklaces come from crusader crosses because crusader crosses were design for military and that tends to appeal to men. Along the way many of the heraldic crosses or crusader crosses have been named for their symbolism but their origins come from crusader and heraldic uses.
Mens cross necklaces are more than crosses that appeal to men. They have their symbolism just like other cross necklaces.
Other types of cross necklaces for men are modern style but still masculine to appeal to the Christian man. This following mens cross necklace is such an example:
