Cross Pendant Designs: When Faith Meets Fashion
Christian symbols have always been part of popular culture, especially art and fashion. Some of the common symbols – the angel, butterfly, Ichthus, and star - used on ornaments and fashion accessories today have strong links with the Christian tradition. However, the most popular and universal Christian symbol used in the jewellery industry has always been, and still is, the cross. Designers use this symbol as an element on rings, bangles, and bracelets along with other designs and patterns, but in the case of pendants, the cross is a category in itself. If you visit a jewellery store to buy cross pendant designs, you will be amazed to see their richness and variety.
Cross pendant designs: Origins and history
According to the Holy Bible, Jesus died on a wooden cross to atone the sins of mankind, and the symbol derives its meaning and relevance from this belief. Over the centuries, the cross became the best-known symbol that represents Christianity. It is believed that people wore cross necklaces and chains as early as the sixth century to show their devotion and faith. In early and medieval Europe, people from royal families wore cross-themed pendants to demonstrate their devotion and social status. The large-sized pectoral cross worn by clergymen was not only a sign of veneration but also an indication of their position in the church hierarchy. Later, the custom of wearing cross pendants became popular among the laymen and this gave rise to a wide range of cross pendant designs.
Variants in cross pendant designs: Know before you buy
The symbol of cross took many design variations ever since it started representing Christian faith and the pendants available today borrow from these design elements. The Latin cross is the commonest of all cross variants and many other variants are derived from it. A popular variant of the Latin cross is the Celtic cross, which has a circle at its centre. The Crucifix is another form with the figure of Jesus fixed on it. The Fleuree cross has three flower petals at the end of each arm while the arms of the Budded cross are designed like circular buds. The Greek cross, the Egyptian cross, and the Canterbury cross are other common designs used in cross pendants.
