Gold men's cross

A unique and original gold cross is one of the most popular jewelry pieces chosen by men, symbolizing courage, honor, and sacrifice. Elegant pendants and chains perfect for a unique gift for any gentleman can be found in our Luxury Products store. Check out the collection of classic and embellished models from Italian jewelers.

A gold cross for men is a symbol of faith and a keepsake for many years

Wearing jewelry by men is becoming increasingly popular in Poland. Gentlemen pay great attention to choosing rings and cufflinks, as well as chains and pendants. Among men's pendants, gold and silver crosses dominate. This is largely due to their symbolism.

A gold cross is primarily a symbol of Christian faith. Among European men, it is most commonly seen among Spaniards, Maltese, and Italians. They believe that wearing a gold cross protects them from evil. It is also becoming more common among Poles, not only due to its religious symbolism but also its secular one. The cross symbolizes strength, courage, and resilience. These are also traits of true men, desired by women today. According to Celtic beliefs, men who wore crosses were considered good matches not only as warriors but also as husbands and fathers. They supposedly guaranteed dedication and commitment to family values.

The history of the Danish gold cross for men made of gold over 1100 years ago

Sometimes a simple walk can make our day special. This was the case for a resident of Denmark in the first quarter of 2016. During a walk on the outskirts of a Danish city, he found a valuable and unique item using a metal detector. It was a gold cross, made approximately 1100 years ago. The find was quite large, measuring over 4 cm in length and weighing over 13 g. The pendant was made entirely of the noble metal, yellow gold.

In our online store Luxury Products, you don't need to go for a walk or use a metal detector to buy a gold pendant for men and women, as an ideal gift for a christening, for example. You can make luxurious purchases at any time of the day or night, regardless of the weather. Delivery will occur promptly after payment is received.

In the Luxury Gifts offer, you will find the highest quality jewelry products from well-known brands, including Maxioro. We have gold earrings, gold bracelets, and among the pendants, gold or silver crosses, with or without gemstones. They are perfect as a gift for a child receiving a sacrament, as well as for an adult on a special occasion.

What are the gold purities?

When buying an elegant men's cross, for example, from Staviori for a first communion or confirmation, it's worth ensuring it is of the highest gold purity, which is 750. However, if you want your child to wear it daily, opt for a 585 purity, which combines high-quality metal with appropriate hardness. This way, the medallion won't scratch quickly, and the image of Jesus won't wear off. Check what the three most popular gold purities mean:

• 750 is a purity that contains 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% is an alloy of other precious metals. This purity is referred to as 18 karat gold.
  
• 585 is the designation for a purity containing 58.5% pure gold, marked as 14 karats.
  
• 333 is 8 karat gold, containing only 33.3% pure gold. It is characterized by being the hardest. However, we advise caution with this purity, as the high alloy content of other metals, including nickel, can cause skin allergies.

What characterizes a 585 gold cross?

Golden crosses for baptism from Italian Jewelry, 585 gold, are the most popular neck ornaments for men. This gold grade combines high-carat gold with excellent physical properties. Its key features include:

• The neck cross of this grade, whether white or yellow gold, does not cause allergies or irritations.
  
• The 585 gold grade guarantees high durability and resistance to wear.
  
• Thanks to the addition of other metals, the 585 grade is not very soft. This prevents quick scratching and deformation.
  
• It comes in various colors: white, yellow, rose, black gold.
  
• They are beautifully adorned with diamonds, zircons, rubies, and other precious stones.

In our Luxury Products online store, you will find a wide selection of cross-shaped pendants made of 585 and 750 gold. If you want to receive regular commercial information about our jewelry collection, subscribe to our newsletter. This way, you'll stay up to date.

Find out how to choose the perfect gold crosses and 585 gold jewelry as a gift for a man

Finding a good and reliable jeweler who is a master of their craft is quite challenging nowadays. Therefore, it's worth trusting well-known and reputable brands and manufacturers that employ the best goldsmiths across Europe. This ensures that the cross will not deform or wear out, every detail will be clear, and the stones will be securely set. You can find gold crosses from renowned and esteemed European brands in our Luxury Gifts section.

When choosing a 585 gold cross for a man, consider what design will be most suitable for your loved one. Should it be simple, classic, with carved decorations, or perhaps with a crucified Christ on it?

Is it better to buy a large gold men's cross or a small 333 gold medallion as a gift?

Regardless of whether you buy a large cross or a small medallion for your man, always choose 585 gold grade or higher. The 333 grade, although hard and less prone to scratches, has its drawbacks. In our opinion, these are quite significant when wearing a gold cross around the neck. Firstly, the high content of other metals can cause skin allergies, such as an itchy rash. Secondly, a 333 grade cross will eventually develop a dark patina that is difficult to remove.

Additionally, you should know that it is not a luxurious or valuable product. For this reason, jewelers are reluctant to set precious stones in them.

Crosses, pendants, medallions, necklaces, and other gold religious items perfect for baptism and communion

Gold jewelry is the perfect gift for occasions such as baptism, first communion, and confirmation. And not just for girls, but also for boys and young men. Among religious items, gold crosses are the most popular. Our customers purchase them along with chains. For boys, they often choose curb and figaro links. They also invest in lengths of about 50 cm. Although such a chain is quite long for a young boy, when he grows up and becomes a man, he will still be able to wear his keepsake around his neck.

Crosses made of combined gold set with stones are also very popular. They are not only an exclusive element of men's jewelry but also an investment for the future. These types of religious items never lose their value.

With or without a chain?

A gold chain with a cross, for example, from Cappagli Gioielli, is the perfect gift for baptism, first communion, or confirmation. At Luxury Products, you can choose from various forms of crosses and chains. We offer timeless links and designs, ensuring they are always fashionable and elegant, regardless of the passage of time.

We encourage you to take a look at the unique models of crosses with cubic zirconia or diamonds, which are sure to appeal to both girls and boys, as well as adult men. Why gift them to a loved one? Because their combination of classic and more modern design makes them a perfect gift for a baptism or confirmation.

In our jewelry department, you can also personalize this jewelry piece with an engraving. The laser personalization services for gold and silver crosses and pendants offered in our store are extremely precise and durable. You can be sure that the chosen inscription will not wear off.

How to care for and clean gold crosses?

Every jewelry store offers special solutions for cleaning gold. The cross along with the chain is immersed in them for several seconds and then rinsed in lukewarm water. This is the safest and most effective method for maintaining high-quality gold.

You can also use home methods and make a cleaning solution yourself. Simply dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of warm, but not hot, water and immerse the cross in it for half an hour. After this time, just take it out and gently wipe it with a soft microfiber cloth. Some people clean gold jewelry with a toothbrush and toothpaste. However, this method is not recommended by jewelers, as it wears down and scratches the gold, and the higher the quality (750, 960), the softer and more prone to damage it is.
