Mens Gold Cross

Men's gold cross jewelry: a cross at the neck, a cross at the wrist

A cross is usually worn on a necklace. This page also covers the wrist: two gold-tone cross bracelets alongside our gold-tone cross necklaces, so you can wear the symbol in one place or both. Every piece is stainless steel or titanium steel with gold-tone plating; the word gold is the color, not the metal.

The two cross bracelets

The cuff is the discreet option: the cross is part of the band, not a hanging charm, and there is no clasp to fasten. It is best on a slim to average wrist. The cable bracelet has more volume; take the 7.75" for a close fit on an average wrist and the 8.75" for a looser feel or a larger wrist.

Building a matching cross set

The rule is one strong cross and one quiet one. If both the necklace and the bracelet are large and detailed, they compete.

• Quiet pair: the gold-tone cuff with the 30 mm Minimalist Cross. Both are clean and polished, fine for the office.
• Textured pair: the cable bracelet with the Cross with Cable Inlay necklace. The twisted cable repeats from neck to wrist.
• Statement neck, quiet wrist: a large engraved cross, such as the Lord's Prayer Cross on 60 cm, with the cuff.

Wear the cross bracelet on the wrist opposite your watch so the two do not knock together.

Care at the wrist

A bracelet rubs against desks, sleeves and watch straps, so its plating wears faster than a necklace's. You can wear it in the shower, at the sea or in the pool; rinse it in fresh water afterwards and dry it. Keep hand cream and perfume off it. Open and close the cuff gently and rarely: repeated bending weakens any metal.
