How to Choose an Orthodox Cross
There is no single "correct" Orthodox Cross. The best choice is one that you'll wear with faith and gratitude every day.
When choosing a cross, consider:
- the material you prefer;
- the size of the pendant;
- whether you want a traditional Byzantine style or a simpler design;
- whether you're purchasing it for yourself or as a gift.
Many people choose sterling silver for everyday wear because it combines durability with timeless beauty. Gold remains a popular choice for baptisms, anniversaries, and family heirlooms.
