Men's black cross necklaces: plain, engraved, crucifix or two-tone
A black cross is a quieter way to wear a symbol of faith. It does not flash like polished steel; it reads as a clean, dark shape against the skin or a light t-shirt. This collection gathers every cross we offer in black, in titanium steel or stainless steel with a black plating. Here we compare the crosses themselves: their design, their size and what they say. For the chains they hang on, see our black cross chains.
Four kinds of black cross
Plain and minimal
Clean lines, no engraving. The Minimalist Cross Pendant Necklace comes in three heights (30, 43 and 53 mm), so you can choose how visible it is. The Classic Cross is a flat block shape, 6 x 3 cm.
Engraved
For men who want the words as well as the shape. The Lord's Prayer Cross carries the full prayer on a 5 x 3 cm cross, and the Crucifix Pendant Necklace is engraved with a verse from Ephesians (1:17).
Crucifix
A cross with the figure of Christ. Two are offered in black: the Crucifix Pendant Necklace (58 x 37 mm) and the Byzantine Chain with Crucifix, whose cross is engraved with the Lord's Prayer in Spanish.
Textured and two-tone
Black against another finish. The Two-Tone Inlaid Cross pairs black with silver-tone or gold-tone accents. The Cable Inlay Cross comes in black and silver-tone. The Nail Cross is made of three nails bound with wire, 56 x 35 mm.
Choosing the size
| Size | Black crosses in this size | How it reads |
|---|---|---|
| Up to about 3 cm | Minimalist Cross (Small, 30 mm) | A discreet accent, easy under a shirt |
| 4 to 5 cm | Minimalist Cross (Medium, 43 mm), Hollow Double Cross (4.8 cm), Lord's Prayer Cross (5 cm) | Clearly visible, still everyday |
| 5.3 cm and more | Minimalist Cross (Large, 53 mm), Nail Cross (56 mm), Crucifix (58 mm), Classic Cross (6 cm) | A statement, best on a t-shirt |
Black looks a little smaller than polished steel of the same size, because it does not reflect light. If you hesitate between two sizes in black, the larger one is often the right choice.
What to wear with a black cross
Black stands out best against white, gray and light colors, and blends in with black clothing for a tone-on-tone look. It pairs easily with a black watch or a black bracelet. For crosses in silver-tone and gold-tone too, browse our men's cross chains.
Care
You can wear your cross in the shower, at the gym, at the sea or in the pool. Rinse it in clean water after the sea or the pool. Perfume, chlorine and friction wear black plating over time, first on the edges. Each necklace comes with a 1-year warranty against defects, 30-day returns and free shipping over $60.

3 to 4 cm for every day and under shirts, 5 cm and more to wear it over a t-shirt.
