Gold Plated Diamond-Cut Cross Medallion Necklace | Santa Gloria, Rome

From the heart of Rome, the eternal city and the seat of our faith, Santa Gloria is honoured to present this exquisite Cross Medallion Necklace. This is not merely a piece of jewelry; it is a wearable testament, a tangible connection to centuries of Catholic tradition, and a personal reminder of the love and sacrifice that stand at the center of our devotion.

In a world of fleeting trends, the symbols of our faith are timeless. This Gold Plated Christian Necklace is designed for the devout heart, offering a beautiful, radiant, and profound way to carry the Cross of Christ with you every day. Crafted with a devotion that mirrors your own, this Oval Pendant is a silent sermon, a piece of art that speaks directly to the soul. As curators of handcrafted religious items, we at Santa Gloria have seen many pieces, but the simple elegance of this medallion—with its brilliant, light-catching border—holds a special place. It represents the light of faith, shining brightly against the smooth, golden field of the medallion.

A Halo of Light: The “Luce di Fede” Cross Medallion Necklace

We affectionately call this piece our “Luce di Fede” necklace—the Light of Faith. Its beauty lies in a masterful blend of simplicity and intricate detail. At the heart of the smooth, polished Oval Pendant lies the Cross. It is rendered with classic, clean lines, representing the pure, unadorned truth of the Gospel. The cross is raised, giving it a three-dimensional presence, allowing your fingers to trace its form in moments of quiet prayer or contemplation.

This serene center is encircled by a remarkable border, which gives the necklace its unique character. This is the “diamond-cut” edge. Using a specialized artisan technique, tiny, precise facets are cut into the gold plating of the oval frame. This is not a “cutting edge” in the sense of being modern or sharp, but rather a faceted edge that achieves a stunning, prismatic effect.

As the light touches this Faceted Oval Cross Pendant, it doesn’t just reflect; it dances. The border sparkles with a brilliance that mimics a ring of tiny, precious diamonds. This “halo of light” serves as a powerful metaphor. It represents the divine light of Christ, the Lumen Gentium (Light of the Nations), radiating from the Cross and illuminating the world. It is a reminder that even in moments of darkness, the light of faith endures and shines.

This entire Cross Medallion Necklace is finished with a generous, high-quality layer of gold plating. This process ensures not only a deep, rich, and warm lustre but also a durability that allows this piece to be a constant companion. The beauty of a Gold Plated Necklace is its accessibility; it offers the radiance and nobility of solid gold, making it a piece that can be cherished and worn by all the faithful, without the prohibitive cost. It is a democratization of beauty, allowing every individual to wear a symbol of their faith that is both elegant and lasting.

More Than an Ornament: The Enduring Power of a Religious Necklace

To wear a Religious Necklace is a tradition as old as our faith itself. From the simple ichthys (fish) symbols scratched onto pendants by early Christians in the Roman catacombs to the elaborate reliquaries of the medieval saints, the faithful have always sought to carry a physical sign of their beliefs.

This Cross Necklace is part of that sacred lineage. In Catholic tradition, an item like this is more than adornment. It is a sacramental—an object that, through the devotion of the wearer, becomes a conduit for grace. It is a public declaration of your identity as a follower of Christ and a private source of immense comfort.

How many times, in a moment of trial, anxiety, or profound gratitude, do we find our hands reaching for a cross worn around the neck? This Oval Cross Pendant Necklace is designed for that human, tactile experience. The smoothness of the central cross and the textured frame of the medallion provide a grounding focal point for prayer. Holding it is a way to center the mind and heart, to reconnect with God in the midst of a busy day. It serves as a shield of faith, a constant, gentle reminder of the presence of God and His protection.

Choosing to wear this Cross Medallion Necklace is a personal act of evangelization. It is a quiet, dignified, and beautiful way to share your faith with the world. It can spark conversations, offer silent solidarity with other believers, and serve as a beacon of hope to those who may be searching. In a world that often seems adrift, this medallion is an anchor, a clear and certain symbol of where you stand and in Whom you trust.

Our mission is to source and provide items that are worthy of the devotion they represent.

Wearing and Caring for Your Gold Plated Religious Jewelry

The beauty of this Gold Plated Christian Necklace is its versatility. The classic oval shape and the timeless symbolism of the cross make it suitable for any attire, from casual, everyday wear to more formal occasions. The chain is crafted for both comfort and durability, allowing the pendant to rest perfectly.

You can wear it visibly as a proud statement of your faith or tuck it discreetly beneath your clothing, keeping it close to your heart as a private comfort. Many choose to layer it with other cherished pieces, such as a Miraculous Medal or a simple chain, to create a personalized collection of faith symbols.

To ensure your Gold Plated Necklace retains its radiant lustre for years to come, we recommend a few simple acts of care, which are themselves a form of reverence for the object:

1. Avoid Moisture: Remove your necklace before showering, swimming, or exercising.
2. Last On, First Off: Put your necklace on after applying any perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays. Chemicals in these products can tarnish the gold plating over time.
3. Gentle Cleaning: To clean, simply wipe the pendant and chain with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical jewelry cleaners, which can be too harsh for gold plating.
4. Safe Storage: When you are not wearing it, store your necklace in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent it from being scratched by other pieces.
