This cross has a noticeable weight to it. The arms are solid, round bars of silver, not hollow or stamped flat. It feels substantial when you pick it up, and you'll feel it sitting on your chest.
A simple Latin cross, made from two round, solid silver bars. The vertical bar is about twice as long as the horizontal one. All four ends are smoothly rounded off. Because it's polished to a mirror finish, you get these clean, bright lines of light that travel down its length as it moves. It hangs from a plain, tapered bail on a silver box chain.
We make this from solid 925 sterling silver. It's not plated or hollow. 925 silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver, which means it’s much more durable for daily wear than pure, soft silver. The other metals add strength, so it won't easily bend or dent. It's also nickel-free, which means it's a good choice if you have sensitive skin. Over time, it might develop a patina, but a quick polish will bring back the original shine.

People choose this cross for its size and simplicity. It's larger than most, and the thick, rounded bars give it a modern, almost architectural look. It's a very direct design—just solid, polished silver without any extra decoration. It’s for someone who wants an unadorned, substantial piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 925 sterling silver on this cross tarnish or turn my skin green?
No, our 925 sterling silver won't turn your skin green. Tarnish is a possibility over time as silver reacts with air, but it's easily removed with a polishing cloth. The green reaction is usually from copper in lower-quality alloys, and our silver is a high-quality, nickel-free composition.
Can I wear my silver cross necklace in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear it in the shower. However, we recommend taking it off before swimming, especially in pools or hot tubs. The chlorine and other chemicals can cause the silver to tarnish much faster and can damage the polished finish over time. Plain water is fine.
How will a 7cm cross pendant sit on my chest?
A 7cm pendant is fairly large, so its position depends on the chain length. On a shorter chain (18-20 inches), it will sit high on the chest, near the collarbone. On a longer chain (22-24 inches), it will rest lower, at the centre of your sternum.
