Mens Crucifix Pendant

Men's crucifix pendant: the details that set them apart

Two crucifixes can look alike in a photo and feel very different in the hand. The construction of the pendant, the text it carries and its finish all matter. This page looks closely at our two crucifix pendants, both made of titanium steel and sold on their chain.

The Crucifix Pendant: two layers and a verse

The Crucifix Pendant Necklace in Titanium Steel measures 58 x 37 mm. It is built in two layers: a polished figure of Christ set over a cross engraved with a verse from Ephesians (1:17), a prayer for wisdom and the knowledge of God. The two levels give it shadow and depth when light hits it. It comes on a 3 mm, 60 cm (24") chain.

The Byzantine Crucifix: a prayer and a heavy chain

The Titanium Steel Byzantine Chain with Crucifix Pendant carries the Lord's Prayer engraved in Spanish. The pendant hangs from a Byzantine chain, a dense pattern of interlocking rings with a real weight, offered in 22", 24", 26", 28", 30" and 31".

Side by side

Which finish shows the figure best

Both pendants come in silver-tone (bare polished steel), gold-tone or black plating. Silver-tone shows the figure of Christ with the most contrast against the engraved cross. Gold-tone is warmer and very traditional. Black is the most modern and makes the polished relief stand out. If you also want a plain cross, compare designs in our men's cross pendant collection, and for the tradition behind the crucifix, see men's crucifix.

Care for the relief

The figure and the engraving are where dust settles. Clean them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, rinse and dry. Shower, sea and pool are fine; rinse in clean water after salt water or chlorine. On gold-tone and black finishes, perfume, chlorine and friction wear the plating over time. 1-year warranty against defects, 30-day returns, free shipping over $60.
