One has to decide in advance whether one is buying a cross as a religious item or as an adornment and which ratio the two urges are in the mix. This cross is more adornment than some others, but it is simple enough and true enough in design to remain a religious item, but it is, at the same time, jewelry. The base metal of the cross is not irritating to the skin, and the florets at the termini of the cross beams keep the cross from jabbing into the flesh when the cross is worn underneath a shirt.

The product is made in China, and so this is no artisanal creation, but the price reflects that. Provided that there are no ethical concerns with the manufacturing and shipping process, then this is a well made, well designed cross that is large enough to be easily felt and seen without being something better hung on a wall. The chain has a clasp, so this means that the item can fit all but the most rotund necks.
