Cross for Christening | Necklace

Cross for Christening necklace made from Sterling Silver with a plain, polished finish supplied on a 16 inch chain.

Cross for Christening necklaces are often given as a gift to treasure. Silver gifts were originated across the reign of Edward VI in 1551, when a silver sixpence was seen as a token of prosperity and good fortune – this has now developed into a silver token (often a cross as a symbol of faith) given on the child’s Christening to wish them well through life.

Crosses are not only a timeless symbol of faith but they are well known to be a classic fashion statement. Cross jewellery can be worn every day to complement any outfit, or styled for a more dressed up look, such as paired with an open neckline for an evening occasion.

This Cross for Christening necklace measures 12 mm in length, 7mm in width and 1mm stand out depth from the neck. It is hung on a sterling silver chain at a length of 16 inches.

The weight of the silver cross is 0.7g, the weight of the chain is 0.4g therefore the total weight of cross and chain is 1.1g.

All items arrive boxed and fully gift wrapped at no extra cost.
