Sterling Silver Orthodox Cross Necklace | BUNIQE
$56.00+ $70.00+
A small Orthodox Cross in 925 sterling silver, 16 mm tall, on a fine 1.5 mm silver box chain.
It is the size you wear every day and forget you are wearing, which is why it is given at a baptism.
CROSS DETAILS
─────────────
• Style: Orthodox Cross Necklace with rounded budded ends
• Material: 925 sterling silver, or 925 with 24K gold or rose gold plating
• Pendant Size: 16 x 10 mm (0.63 x 0.39 in)
• Thickness: 1.2 mm (0.05 in)
• Chain: 1.5 mm box chain
• Length Options: 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 inches
• Handmade to Order
THE SHAPE
─────────
The cross has one horizontal bar, and the four ends are rounded rather than cut square.
That rounded form is called a budded cross, and it is widely worn in Orthodox and Catholic tradition.
It is not the three-bar Russian cross with the slanted footrest.
Every photo here shows the exact shape you will receive.
The whole piece, pendant and chain, is 925 sterling silver, and the gold and rose gold versions are the same silver with plating.
We chose the box chain because it is square in section and lies flat, so a 16 mm pendant hangs straight instead of turning.
HIGHLIGHTS
──────────
• 925 sterling silver, pendant and chain
• 16 mm pendant, small enough for daily wear
• Rounded budded ends, no sharp corners
• 1.5 mm box chain that lies flat
• Five chain lengths, from a child size to 22 inches
• Silver, 24K gold plated or rose gold plated
• No nickel, no lead and no cadmium
HOW TO ORDER
────────────

2. Choose the chain length: 14, 16, 18, 20 or 22 inches.
3. Add to cart.
CHOOSING A LENGTH
─────────────────
14 inches is a child size and suits a baptism or a christening gift.
16 inches sits at the base of an adult's neck.
18 inches is the most common choice and sits just below the collarbone.
20 and 22 inches sit lower on the chest and show over a neckline.
PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

• Outside the USA: FedEx Express, approximately 3-6 business days

GIVEN AT A BAPTISM
──────────────────
A cross given at a baptism is usually the first piece of jewelry a person owns.
That is why it is small, why the ends are rounded, and why it is made in solid silver rather than something that will not last.
It is also given at first communion, confirmation, and Easter.
GOOD TO KNOW
────────────
Q: Is this the three-bar Russian Orthodox cross?
A: No, this is the budded form with a single bar, exactly as shown in the photos.
Q: Is the gold solid?
A: No, the gold and rose gold versions are 925 sterling silver with plating over them, and the silver version is solid 925.
Q: How small is 16 mm really?
A: It is about the width of a fingernail, small and quiet rather than a statement piece.
Q: Which length for a baby or a small child?
A: 14 inches, and one of the photos shows the lengths so you can compare.
Q: Will the plating wear off?
A: The plating sits on solid silver, and with gentle care it keeps its color for a long time.
Q: Is it safe for a child?
A: It is solid 925 sterling silver with no nickel, no lead and no cadmium, and it is not suitable for children under 3 years.
Q: Can it be returned?
