{"product_id":"ornate-crucifix-necklace-in-18k-gold-plated-sterling-silver","title":"Ornate Crucifix Necklace in 18K Gold-Plated Sterling Silver","description":"\u003cp class=\"intro\"\u003eThis ornate crucifix necklace gives you a raised figure of Jesus on a polished gold-colored cross that reads clearly from across a room. Each arm ends in an open three-lobed shape, so light passes through the tips and the outline looks lacy rather than solid. The pendant is 925 sterling silver plated in 18K gold and measures 2.16 x 1.05 in (5.5 x 2.7 cm). The polished surface feels smooth under your fingers, with the figure standing slightly proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs an ornate crucifix necklace too detailed for daily wear?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.16 in (5.5 cm) tall, the detail is visible without turning the cross into a statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLook\u003c\/strong\u003e: A polished yellow-gold color, a raised figure of Jesus and INRI lettering above the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear\u003c\/strong\u003e: Choose an 18 in (46 cm) or 20 in (51 cm) chain, a 24 in (61 cm) rope, or the pendant alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e: The pendant is 18K gold-plated 925 sterling silver, and the chains are 925 sterling silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetail\u003c\/strong\u003e: A smooth tapered bail links the cross to the chain, and the back carries an S925 marking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do the chain and rope options change the way this crucifix hangs?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalking in a Good Friday procession, you want the cross visible over a dark coat without searching for it. The 24 in (61 cm) black rope drops it to mid-chest, where the gold color stands out against the braided cord and dark fabric. If you prefer it higher, the \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/necklace-sizing-guide\"\u003enecklace sizing guide\u003c\/a\u003e shows that the 18 in (46 cm) chain rests just below the collarbone, while 20 in (51 cm) sits a little lower.

Either way, the open tips keep the outline light as you walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho this openwork crucifix suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece suits someone who wants a recognizable crucifix with decorative edges and a bright polished gold color. The gold crucifix with an INRI plaque from the same collection has a wood-grain texture and squared arms. If you prefer a rustic, carved-wood look, that cross is the better fit; if you like open, rounded tips, this one is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul class=\"faq-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do the cross ends have three rounded lobes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three-lobed ends follow the trefoil cross form, where each lobe is commonly read as a sign of the Trinity. On this pendant the lobes are open in the middle, so the tips look airy and catch light from both sides, which softens the outline of a fairly tall cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the S925 marking on the back of the pendant mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eS925 is the standard stamp for 925 sterling silver, the metal underneath the 18K gold plating of this crucifix. It sits on the smooth reverse side, so it stays against you when worn and does not show from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the figure of Jesus raised from the surface of the cross?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe raised figure gives the crucifix depth, so the arms, head and body show as distinct shapes instead of a flat outline. On a polished gold color, the raised areas reflect light differently from the flat cross behind them, which keeps the figure readable even at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nahyana","offers":[{"title":"18 in (46 cm) Chain","offer_id":46417072685100,"sku":"1005009506250979-with 18inch chain","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 in (51 cm) Chain","offer_id":46417072652332,"sku":"1005009506250979-with 20inch chain","price":124.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 in (61 cm) Rope","offer_id":46417072586796,"sku":"1005009506250979-with 24 inch rope","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pendant Only","offer_id":46417072619564,"sku":"1005009506250979-only pendant","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/1202\/4620\/files\/gold-crucifix-link-chain-9180-6.webp?v=1792381722","url":"https:\/\/nahyana.com\/products\/ornate-crucifix-necklace-in-18k-gold-plated-sterling-silver","provider":"Nahyana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
