Cross necklaces, in the past have always been a very bold statement of one's religion, and a powerful reminder that faith is the key to God's Kingdom.
The crosses have always been here even before the birth of Christ. Celtics and Romans have used crosses to symbolize their religion and beliefs. In the last Centuries, these type of necklaces had been a sign of power and prestige, too. The Roman Catholic Church priests used to wear big, bold necklaces around their necks to symbolize their profession and position.
Today, however, especially in the Western culture, men, women and children alike wear cross jewelry mainly as a fashion statement. Everyone at any age, any race or any religion, have been accustomed to the fact that cross jewelery are not just a religious accessory anymore, but more of a fashion statement that anyone, at any religion or belief can avail of.
Alloy necklaces are the most common, perhaps, mainly because that when you are conversing to somebody, the neck is in the field of vision and ornaments on the head and neck are the first things that people see.
