Design Details
The Cross Shape
This is a classic Christian cross design—vertical beam slightly longer than horizontal. The surface isn't smooth; it has a hammered/textured finish that makes it look more interesting than plain polished crosses. Light hits the raised and recessed areas differently, creating natural contrast.
The Diamonds
Small CZ (cubic zirconia) stones are set into the cross at strategic points. These catch light and add sparkle without being excessive. CZ looks identical to real diamonds but costs a fraction of the price. Perfect for everyday wear.
Silver vs Gold
Silver finish: Natural sterling silver color. Classic, versatile, matches most silver jewelry.
Gold finish: 18K gold plating over the sterling silver base. Warmer tone, luxury look, matches gold chains and rings.
Both versions are the same quality. Choose based on what other jewelry you wear. If you wear gold chains, get gold. If you wear silver, get silver. Simple.
Who Buys These
- People expressing faith: Wearing a cross is a way to show your beliefs without being preachy.

Materials: What You Need to Know
925 Sterling Silver Base
All versions start with real 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). This is the global standard for quality silver jewelry. Sterling silver is:
- Hypoallergenic (safe for sensitive ears)
- Nickel-free (nickel causes most jewelry allergies)
- Durable enough for daily wear
- Won't turn your ears green like cheap metals
Gold Version: How Plating Works
The gold version is 18K gold plating over sterling silver. This means a layer of real gold is bonded to the silver base. It's not solid gold (which would cost 10x more), but it looks identical and lasts years with proper care.
Reality check: Gold plating can wear off over time, especially on posts that rub against your ear. This is normal for all plated jewelry. When it happens (usually after 1-2 years of daily wear), you'll see silver showing through. You can either keep wearing it as silver or get it re-plated professionally.
CZ Diamonds
These are cubic zirconia, not real diamonds. We're upfront about this. CZ offers the same sparkle at a fraction of the cost. Unless you're a jeweler with a microscope, you can't tell the difference visually.
Size and Fit
- Cross height: Approximately 10-12mm (about half an inch)
- Cross width: Approximately 8-10mm at widest point
- Weight: Very lightweight, comfortable for all-day wear
- Post thickness: Standard 0.9-1.0mm (fits most piercings)
- Post material: Solid 925 sterling silver (even on gold version)
- Back type: Butterfly clutch (secure, won't fall out)
These sit close to your earlobe (stud style, not dangling). The size is perfect for everyday wear—noticeable without being oversized. If you currently wear 6-8mm studs, these will feel similar in presence.
How to Wear Them
Match Your Other Jewelry
If you wear silver chains/rings: Get the silver cross earrings.
If you wear gold chains/rings: Get the gold cross earrings.
Matching metals looks intentional. Mixing silver and gold can work but requires more thought.
Pair with: Silver or gold chains | Matching rings
Casual Daily Wear
These work with t-shirts, jeans, hoodies—basically everything. The cross shape adds just enough detail without requiring you to plan your whole outfit around them. Perfect for people who want one pair of earrings they can wear every day.
Gothic/Alternative Style
Cross jewelry is a staple in gothic fashion. These work perfectly with all-black clothing, leather, dark denim, band tees. The textured finish and diamond accents add luxury to the dark aesthetic.
Complete the look: Gothic bracelets | More dark earrings
Professional Settings
Small cross studs are generally acceptable in most workplaces that allow earrings. They're religious symbols, so they're protected in many dress codes even when other statement jewelry isn't. If you're unsure, check your workplace policy.
How to Care for Them
Daily Wear:
- Fine to wear every day
- Remove before sleeping (prevents snagging and pressure on ears)
- Take off before showering/swimming (extends gold plating life)
Cleaning:
- Wipe with soft cloth after wearing to remove skin oils
- For deeper cleaning: warm water + mild soap, dry thoroughly
- Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
Storage:
- Keep in provided pouch or jewelry box
- Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches
- Keep dry (moisture accelerates tarnishing)
For Gold Version Specifically:
The gold plating lasts longer if you remove earrings before water exposure. When plating eventually wears (normal after years of wear), you can still wear them as silver or have them re-plated by a jeweler.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these real silver or plated?
Both versions are real 925 sterling silver. The gold version has 18K gold plating over the silver base. The posts are solid sterling silver on both versions.
Can men wear these?
Yes. Cross earrings are popular with men, especially in hip-hop, gothic, and religious communities. The size and design work for anyone.
Will the gold color wear off?
Eventually, yes—this is normal for all gold-plated jewelry. With proper care (avoiding water, storing dry), it lasts 1-2+ years of daily wear. When it wears, you'll see silver underneath. You can still wear them or have them re-plated.
Are these real diamonds?
No, they're cubic zirconia (CZ). CZ looks identical to diamonds but costs much less. Perfect for everyday jewelry where you want sparkle without the diamond price tag.
How big are they?
About 10-12mm tall (roughly half an inch). If you wear standard 6-8mm stud earrings, these will feel slightly larger but not excessive. Perfect size for everyday wear—noticeable but not overwhelming.
Will these work for sensitive ears?
Yes. Sterling silver is hypoallergenic and nickel-free. If you've worn real silver or gold before without problems, these will be fine. If you've only reacted to cheap fashion jewelry, that's usually due to nickel—which these don't have.
Do I have to be Christian to wear these?
No. While the cross is a Christian symbol, many people wear cross jewelry for style reasons (gothic fashion, for example) without religious meaning. Wear jewelry for whatever reason makes sense to you.
Can I choose silver for one ear and gold for the other?
No, you get a pair (both the same color). Choose either silver or gold. Both earrings will be the color you select.
