Mens Cross Pendant

Men's cross pendants: engraving, depth and finish up close

A cross pendant is something you will look at up close, in your hand, in the mirror, every morning. So beyond its size, look at what is on it: an engraved prayer, a layered construction, a polished or brushed surface. This page focuses on those details, for every cross pendant in our range. Each one is made of stainless steel or titanium steel and sold on its chain.

Engraved cross pendants

The Lord's Prayer Cross Pendant Necklace is the one to choose if the words matter most. The Dog Tag Cross is the least formal, half engraved text, half grid pattern with the cross cut out.

Layered and textured pendants

Some pendants are built in levels, which gives them shadow and depth:

• Hollow Double Cross (4.8 x 2.7 cm): an open frame cross over a smaller full cross.
• Cross with Cable Inlay: polished frame, brushed center, twisted cable.
• Two-Tone Inlaid Cross: a smooth brushed half against a scale-like half.
• Textured Cross: an openwork pattern across the whole cross.

Polished pendants

If you prefer a smooth surface, the Cylindrical Cross is made of rounded polished bars (Small 3 x 1.8 cm or Large 4.5 x 2.6 cm), and the Minimalist Cross has flat, high-polish planes in 30, 43 or 53 mm. A polished pendant shows fine scratches with time; a brushed or textured one hides them better.

Care for engraving and relief

Clean engraved lines with a soft toothbrush, a drop of mild soap and water, then rinse and dry. Shower, sea and pool are fine; rinse in clean water after salt water or chlorine. On gold-tone and black pendants, perfume and chlorine wear the plating over time. 1-year warranty against defects, 30-day returns, free shipping over $60.
