Product Description:Lightweight gold-tone aluminum cross charm with decorative open-cut details and diamond-cut style etching that catches and reflects the light. Approximately 1 inch tall, the cross has an elongated traditional shape, a bright faceted center accent and a loop at the top for attaching to chain, cord, jump rings and other jewelry findings. The combination of open areas and etched surfaces gives this lightweight cross plenty of decorative detail without a heavy or bulky appearance. 1 gold-tone cross per package.
Add it to a chain or cord to create a decorative cross pendant for a necklace, use it as a focal charm on a bracelet, or pair two for lightweight cross earrings. It can also add Christian symbolism to bookmarks, keychains and other faith-inspired projects. Use the cross for everyday Christian jewelry or incorporate it into handmade baptism gifts, First Communion gifts, Confirmation gifts, religious keepsakes and other meaningful expressions of faith.
General Information:Cross Charms and Pendants for Jewelry Making
A cross can become the focal point of a necklace, a meaningful addition to a charm bracelet or a small symbol of faith incorporated into a handmade gift. When choosing a cross for jewelry making, consider both its size and how it attaches. A single top loop or bail works naturally for a cross pendant or dangling charm, while a connector with attachment points at both ends can become part of the bracelet or necklace itself.
More Ways to Use Cross Charms
Cross charms and pendants aren't limited to necklaces and bracelets. Smaller crosses can be made into earrings or attached to bookmarks, keychains and other keepsakes. Birthstone crosses add a personal connection to birthday and family jewelry, while gemstone crosses offer individual colors and natural-looking patterns. Crosses can also be incorporated into handmade baptism gifts, First Communion gifts, Confirmation gifts and other Christian and religious keepsakes.
Charm or Pendant?
The terms charm and pendant are often used interchangeably, and many crosses can serve equally well as either. A smaller cross may become a bracelet charm while the same cross can be added to a chain or cord and worn as a necklace pendant. Rather than being limited by the name of the finding, choose the cross by its size, style, attachment and how you want it to look in your finished project.
