Sterling Silver Cross Pendant
The sterling silver cross pendant is the most popular way to wear Cross jewelry. The reason is two fold. One, when you wear a cross necklace you wear it around your necklace a over your heart which is fitting for a Christian icon so important as a cross necklace.
The other reason cross necklaces are so popular is because it is easier for jewelry craftsmen to make countless varieties of a cross pendant that it is for cross rings or cross earrings. So you have a huge selection of sterling silver cross pendant necklaces to choose from.
There are so many sterling silver cross pendant necklaces to choose from that I thought it might be a good idea to look at the symbolism of a cross pendant necklace. I have done this a few times before in other blogs but there are so many cross necklaces that there is enough symbolism to all of them to fill a book.
This sterling silver Celtic cross necklace is a mainstream cross necklace but it has a lot of additional symbolism that adds to the traditional Christian symbolism of the cross.
The Celtic cross has a Celtic circle around the intersection of the cross. The Celtic circle is like other cultural symbolism of the circle which is eternity. Fitting for a Christian cross. It also has classic Celtic knot work on the circle and the four arms of the cross which also mean eternity.
The end cap of each arm has a Celtic trinity knot. a Celtic trinity knot is a three cornered knot. Each corner is used to represent the Holy Trinity, also a fitting element to the Christian cross.
