Product Description:April's diamond birthstone sparkles at the center of this silver-tone cross pendant. Measuring approximately 1 inch x 3/4 inch, the cross has smooth, clean lines and a simple contemporary style that keeps the focus on the Christian cross and its bright clear stone. A loop at the top makes it ready to add to a necklace, bracelet or handmade jewelry design.
The classic clear-and-silver combination makes this April birthstone cross easy to wear with almost any jewelry style. Add it to a chain for a meaningful Christian necklace, use it as a charm on a faith bracelet, or give it as a personal April birthday keepsake. A birthstone cross also makes a thoughtful First Communion, Confirmation or baptism gift, combining an important expression of faith with the recipient's birth month. Crosses are available in birthstone colors for all twelve months, making it possible to choose a personal birthstone or combine several to represent family and loved ones.
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.
