A cross necklace is a fitting gift for a christening, a confirmation or a First Holy Communion.
Plain, polished crosses have a clean, simple look. Other designs are decorated with engraved swirls, a raised centre or a fine beaded edge known as milgrain. There is also a crucifix, which is a cross bearing the figure of Christ. A diamond-cut cross has small facets cut into the metal with a diamond-tipped tool, so that each facet catches the light.
There are cross pendants for women and unisex designs in a range of sizes, some set with cubic zirconia or a diamond. The metals are sterling silver, the traditional metal for christening gifts, and yellow or white gold. Some come on a chain; others are sold as the pendant alone, to wear on a chain of your choice.
