Necklaces are adornments that are less likely used than rings and bracelets. They don’t usually fit all occasions and clothes. These have to be chosen carefully and wisely.  Since necklaces are put around a person’s prominent body part, it cannot be denied that they speak a lot about the person who wears them.

Aside from the chain, most necklaces come better with pendants. One of the elegant choices of a pendant is a gold cross. A variety of cross designs are available; however, a plain gold cross looks classic and formal. When one chooses a gold cross necklace, he/she should know the message he/she is conveying to everybody around him/her.

A cross is a symbol of Christianity, thus a person who wears it is assumed to be a believer or follower of Jesus Christ. It would be inappropriate to wear it if one does not believe in the value it stands for, or else, he/she would be expressing a message that is contrary to the Christian religion. Why display something at the center of your body when you are simply taking it for granted? Therefore, to wear one is to be proud to display your own religious belief fashionably.

A person who wears this kind of necklace also looks a little serious and formal. I am referring here to the plain classic design. It can be worn in any occasion and would not be too flashy to grab all attention to it. It could fit semi-formal clothes for both males and females and it could also be worn casually.

The choice of gold on the gold cross necklace, also symbolizes formality and deeper religiosity. It should be noted that one of the gifts of the Maggi to Jesus when He was born was gold. This indicates Jesus’ kingship. Thus, to wear gold means that the person who wears it explicitly or implicitly believes or expresses the royalty of Jesus Christ.

Although this symbol is acceptable in most countries of the world, some people may be offended if you wear them in their localities. For instance, it would not be appropriate to wear this when you are in a Muslim country or when you are in their territory. One has to possess some discretion and sensitivity to the feelings of others even in the use of adornments. What you wear may hurt or offend others without your knowledge about it.

Finally, it would be wise to know and be always aware that what you wear is very important. It speaks more meaning than what it appears and you may be sending out either a positive or a negative message by what you wear, even simple adornments- like a gold cross necklace.
