A necklace featuring a cross shaped pendant.

When resembling an upright crucifix, this cross usually signifying a wearer having an association with Christianity. Cross necklaces are also often shown being worn by goths, especially with an upside down cross to represent a belief in Satanism or the occult (...or as a fashion statement). A beaded cross necklace is often a representation of a rosary, a set of prayer beads used and worn by Catholics, and especially commonly depicted on nuns.

Tagging Note

As all cross necklaces feature cross pendants, the cross pendant tag by itself is better used for cross shaped pendants on piercings, collars, or other non-necklace applications.
