It will be blasphemy to be skeptical of the significance of the Holy Cross in the Christian world. The cross, therefore in all senses, happens to be one of the earliest and most widely recognized Christian symbols. The use of the cross as a Christian symbol starts with Christ Himself. Since, through His death, Christ sanctified the very implement of His torture, the cross has come to signify His victory over death and sin. Thus the cross from the earliest period of Christianity being an important symbol of the faith has been treated with a strong veneration. However, the concept of the wearing of religious cross jewelry was not widely used by early Christians. If they were so devout, what restricted them?

The prime reason is that the early Christians were often persecuted for their faith in several countries, for which it was not safe to openly display religious cross jewelry. It is for this reason the preference of the earliest Christians in the domain of religious jewelry went for the Ichthys and the anchor. The Ichthys, two intersecting arcs resembling the profile of a fish, was probably used in Christian jewelry as a reference to Christ as “the fisher of men”. The anchor, or mariners cross, was used in early Christian jewelry as a symbol of hope based in the faith in Christ. Through this they could be saved from the hands of persecution. But it was from the proclamation of the Christianity as the official religion of Rome by the then Emperor Constantine in the 3rd century AD, that the style of having religious cross jewelry became popular. Since then the cross has become the most significant of Christian symbols, and has been widely used in art and jewelry.

Now with the passage of years, it has become almost necessary. But the real gold crosses are really expensive, making it problem for many to buy. Now with the appearance of the white gold crosses in the international market it has become possible for a vast population to go for it. But it should be noted that the white gold crosses though being less expensive that the real gold ones are in no way of less quality. If you give a close attention, you will find that the white gold crosses also appear in the same stylish manner and do live up to the expectations of the people of different ethnicities.

Even the different variations of the cross that are popular in the world like the Latin cross, Greek cross, Celtic cross, Russian Orthodox cross, St. Andrews cross, St. Anthony cross, Calvary cross, Papal cross and St. Peter cross have found their true expressions through the white gold crosses. Indeed there is a long and rich history of the religious cross jewelry developing from simple anchors into a myriad of different forms and representations, each with its own story. The modern world with the presence of white gold crosses at less expensive rate is following the same tradition. But at the end of the day the powerful meaning of religious cross jewelry has always stayed the same; faith in Christ as Savior and Redeemer.
