Cross Jewelry

Sterling silver cross jewelry has many types of unique types of cross jewelry like cross rings, cross earrings and cross necklaces. Of all the various types of cross jewelry this blog will cover cross necklaces.

All cross necklaces talked about or referenced are the silver cross necklace type.

Besides looking at the cross necklace there an additional point to make of the silver cross necklace. Look at the two pictures shown in this post. There are very different in design but the difference I am going to talk about is one of the resons of the silver cross necklace.

Chemical oxidation. True sterling silver oxidizes when exposed to air. Wiping the cross pendant with a soft rag every so often and storing the silver cross necklace in a zip lock bag will prevent natural oxidization. For the cross necklace at the top you would likely want to protect since it is the high shine highly reflective cross necklace.

The Celtic cross necklace has intricate designs and they use chemical oxidization to highlight the designs.

The point to all this is that some cross necklaces are menat to be oxidized and other are not unless you want to let it naturally oxidizes.
