This double silver cross necklace pairs two 925 sterling silver crosses on one fine chain, giving you a layered look without a second necklace. A larger cross lined with rows of small clear CZ stones overlaps a smaller plain cross that holds a single stone at its center. Each cross hangs from its own bail, so the two shapes shift slightly as you move. It comes in a silver-tone or a gold-tone version, and the stones catch light against either finish.

Does a double silver cross necklace look busy at its real size?

Not really. The larger cross measures 0.71 x 0.49 in (1.8 x 1.3 cm), so the pair stays small at the neckline.

• Look: One sparkling stone-lined cross and one polished plain cross overlap to form a soft, layered silhouette.
• Wear: The chain is 16 in (41 cm) with a 2 in (5 cm) extender, so it sits near the base of the neck.
• Build: Silver-Tone is a 925 sterling silver pendant; Gold-Tone is a 925 sterling silver pendant with a gold-colored finish.
• Detail: The smaller cross measures 0.55 x 0.33 in (1.4 x 0.9 cm) and carries one clear stone at its center.

What does wearing two crosses together say when it is a gift?

Picture a sister opening this as a gift, the two crosses lying side by side in her palm. She sees the larger stone-lined cross first, then the smaller plain one tucked against it, each on its own bail. Two crosses on one chain read easily as two people sharing one faith, which suits a sister, a mother or a close friend. If you want more styles to compare, the silver cross necklaces and the wider range of cross necklaces show other shapes. At 16 in (41 cm) with its extender, this one sits high on the neck, as the necklace sizing guide illustrates. It stays a small, personal sign she can keep on.

Suited to someone who likes a layered cross

This piece suits someone who wants a small cross with movement and a little sparkle, in silver-tone or gold-tone. The small silver cross with stone-set arms from the same collection shows one cross alone. If you prefer a single, simple outline, that cross is the better fit; if you like two shapes overlapping, this double design suits you more.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why does the smaller cross have only one stone?

  The single center stone keeps the smaller cross plain, so it frames the stone-lined larger cross instead of competing with it. Its polished arms give the eye a calm area next to the sparkle, and the one stone at its center links the two crosses visually.

• How do the two crosses move when you wear them?

  Each cross hangs from its own bail, so the two can shift a little against each other as you turn or walk. The overlap changes slightly through the day, which keeps the stones catching light from different angles rather than holding one fixed position.

• How do the clear stones look on the gold-tone version?

  On the gold-tone version, the clear CZ stones stand out as bright white points against the warm color of the cross. On the silver-tone version they blend more into the metal, giving a cooler, more uniform sparkle across the larger cross.
