The type of chain that works best for a cross necklace will change depending on the pendant’s colour, feel, and weight, as well as your own personal taste and style. A solid chain is recommended for cross pendants to ensure ease of wear, with larger cross pendants best paired with thicker chains.
White gold jewellery can help bring out the brilliance of a diamond cross necklace, offering classical elegance. A gold cross necklace with a matching chain exudes warmth and is a timeless look. Combining metals, meanwhile, can add depth and create a stunning contrast between warmer and cooler tones.
The thickness of your chain can also play a part in the overall look of your cross necklace. Finer types like curb, cable and belcher chains are strong, lightweight, and can provide a subtle backdrop without overpowering your cross pendant. Larger chains meanwhile provide a stronger look and can make your cross necklace more of a statement piece.
Whatever type of chain you choose, ensure it's a style you love to wear every day.
