What is a Diamond Cross Pendant?
A diamond cross pendant is a necklace which features diamonds or gemstones set inside a cross shaped pendant. There are many cross pendants, from Christian faith crosses to Celtic styles, alongside templar crosses. This type of necklace is popular with all genders and styles as it can compliment any outfit beautifully.
Where Did Cross Pendants Originate from?
Cross pendants originated thousands of years ago, dating back to the Roman Empire in the 4th century. The first cross pendants were made from gold and worn exclusively by clergy members. The pendants often featured gemstones instead of diamonds within the cross. Since then, cross necklaces have remained a popular jewellery staple among many people looking for a meaningful gift to buy for your loved ones.
Which Metal Works Well With a Cross Necklace?
White gold, rose gold, yellow gold, platinum and silver are all excellent choices for your diamond cross necklace. However, if you want a durable metal with less maintenance for your cross pendant, you should choose platinum. With other precious metals you will find over time that your pendant may require replating or maintenance to ensure the diamonds maintain their sparkle while retaining the metal’s natural colour on your necklace.
