If you had to follow the trend in men's jewelry you would have noticed that, a mens cross is definitely getting to be very popular. Many men who otherwise would not care to wear any jewels can be seen wearing a gold or sterling silver men's cross. The main reason for this is the religious implication that this jewel carries. There was a time when not much thought was given to the design concept of a mens cross. Things have changed and men have today become aware that style and fashion can be applied to their accessories too. There was a notion that well designed and crafted jewelry for men would not appear masculine, fortunately this belief has almost run out of steam now. The MPN12 mens cross shown on this page has all the elements of a good jewel, customization provides flexibility of metal and dimensions.

The MPN12 custom mens cross can be ordered in gold or sterling silver. The image shows a pewter model of the cross but, we do not deal in pewter jewelry.The dimensions of this cross for men provide a length of 1.5 inches or 3.75 cm. Options for 14k and 18k crosses in white and yellow gold are available. Full customization allows you to select the length and texture for your cross. |
Before we discuss the technical details of the MPN12 mens cross pendant shown on this page, let us briefly touch upon some important issues on the topic of men's crosses. Crosses are worn by ladies and men but, you can expect a gold or 925 mens cross to be larger than a cross worn by ladies. A survey conducted by our team in 9 countries, yielded similar information regarding one issue. More than 50% of the men surveyed prefer to wear a plain cross for men, this was a cross that did not include diamonds or gem stones. We also found that the number of sterling silver crosses worn by ladies was much lower as compared to those worn by men. There could be two reasons for this, one related to the preference of men for jewelry that had a quiet and confident look. Silver jewelry has for long known to have a cool, casual and confident appearance. This makes silver mens crosses appeal to men of all ages and personalities. Another reason for the strong demand for 925 silver crosses for men is related to the price factor. Men's pendants would be fairly large and need porportionate metal weight to keep them in shape. Gold crosses in large sizes can be very expensive, this is even more true given the current upward trend in gold prices. For this reason a sterling silver cross would be more affordable, even if you included a good silver chain with the jewel.
Something that makes the jewel appeal to most men is the impressive size of the
jewel. It is not large or bulky, neither is it tiny and feminine. The size is
just right for a mens cross, the jewel will be modestly priced when made in silver
and will not be too expensive if you choose to order it as a men's gold cross.
The jewel measures 3.75 cm or 1.5 inches, the bale (loop for chain) can take a
sturdy silver chain that is around 3mm to 5mm in thickness. Since this is a custom
mens cross, you can request for a specific bale size for your pendant. We talked
about the importance of proportionate metal weight for a jewel, this is essential
for longterm durability. Keeping this in mind we have packed this mens cross with
a minimum weight of 15 to 18 grams of sterling silver. When it comes to the same cross
pendant in gold, we will ensure that it is made with a minimum gold weight of 20
to 25 grams. This is at least 50% more than what other jewelers would use to make
the same jewel. So when you compare our mens crosses with those supplied by other
jewelers, make a comparison based on price and metal weight.
A pendant when worn on a chain will swing about, this could sometimes result in
the back side of the pendant showing up. It is therefore necessary to give a neat
finish even for the back side of a men's cross. This could be done by closing the
back with a metal grid or a plain sheet of metal (gold or silver). Our designing
and production team decided to go off the beaten track and came up with an awesome
solution. The back side of this custom men's cross is similar to the front side.
You can therefore proudly and confidently wear your cross without having to worry
about which side is facing upwards. We have also worked on a special texture for
the surface of the gold or silver men's cross, we call it the 'pebble' texture.
You might see such a paving done on a garden walk path!. Once again the tremendous
power of a custom made men's cross works to your advantage. You can choose a finish
of your choice for the gold or 925 silver jewel, a tree bark finish, a rough sand
paper finish, or even a hammered finish are possible. If you choose the hammered
finish for your cross pendant, it might be necessary to add more metal weight.
This is especially because both sides need to be given the finishing. Email us
your requirements if you need any changes to the existing design.

The mens cross has a length of around 1.5 inches or 3.75 cm, the bale is above
this length and is around 1cm long. The silver mens cross is not plated with
rhodium or any other metal, this is because all plating on your 925 silver
cross will wear off after a while. You can choose from a pebble finish (as
in the image) a tree bark finish, a rough sand blasted finish or a hammered
finish. The front and back of the gold or silver mens cross will have the same
finish. We will let you know if extra metal weight is required for the type
of finish that you choose for your cross.
Yellow or white gold mens cross pendants are priced the same. Let us know your gold color choice when you order. The dimensions of your cross can be customized according to your preference. Let us know if you need different dimensions and we will work out a specific price quote for you. |
