Crosses

CROSSES

This blog post is focusing on Christian crosses. I say that because crosses are not always considered Christian crosses. The cross is one of the most popular and original symbols in the history of men. So it makes sense that the cross could be used in non Christian religions and it is. But the jewelry crosses we're talking about in this blog is in fact the Christian cross.



From Christian crosses come the cross pendants, cross necklaces, Celtic crosses to name a few.



Let's start with looking at Celtic crosses. These Celtic crosses could be considered on non Christian cross but it's not and we'll tell you why with some examples.


The first Celtic cross pendant has all the basic Celtic cross elements plus one additional symbol. Both Celtic crosses have a Celtic circle around the intersection of the Celtic crosses. The Celtic circle has the same symbolic meaning as in Christian crosses and Christian jewelry. The circle means eternity or forever. That's a nice additional symbol for Christian crosses.



The first Celtic cross pendant also has an Irish clover that was used by Christian missionaries in Ireland to teach of the Holy Trinity. That adds nicely to the Celtic Christian crosses.



Cross necklaces are great jewelry items for Christian men and women. Cross necklaces are not possible without cross charms and the famous cross pendant. Cross charms can be used for both cross charm bracelets and cross necklaces.



The cross pendant is for cross necklaces only.
