Sideways cross recommendations...

[lizzyann]

Anybody own a sideways cross necklace? Like this. http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Wa...t.html?AID=10654383&PID=2178999&SID=715312818 Any pictures??

Any recommendations on where to get one? I'd like a yellow gold one (doesn't have to be solid gold though). I saw some on Etsy too but I don't know which are reputable or not. Ideally, I'd like 18"!

Thanks!!!

I don't own one, but I have seen a huge number of them because I have been looking for a cross for myself for quite a long time. I do not recall one website offhand. I have seen them in many places. I can take a look. Do you know that we have a thread for crosses? Here is a link to it in case you also want to pose your question there:

This 14K gold necklace is from the same site you showed us in your initial posting. They have at least one other 14K gold sideways cross for sale there besides this one, so you should revisit the site and look around.

Why would you want to wear a cross sideways? Doesn't it look a little awkward? Is there some meaning to it?

i LOVE a sideways cross. I dont see them awkward at all. I do not like a strait up one,myself. I do believe it just is a different type of cross, doesnt have any more or less religious meaning.

Etsy seems to be full of them.

Just wondered. I didn't mean to sound critical. I've never seen them before -- I don't get out much, I guess.

I saw a bunch of crosses i this style on Ross Simons. They re having a sale this weekend right now too.

Thanks everybody!

Maccers, I am going to check out Ross Simons! Thanks for the suggestion!

Niel, yes I think it is more of a style choice. I think a right side up cross is definitely more timeless and classic. For me this is more a fashion piece!

Jewelfreak, for me it is more of a fashion piece. I definitely prefer a right side up cross for a more timeless, classic look. For the sideways cross, it's not something I'm investing a ton of money in as I would with a classic cross. I've just seen the sideways cross look in a couple of magazines and on some celebrities and I thought it would be a fun look for the summer in yellow gold!

AGBF, thanks for the link! And yes, I love the cross thread! I may post there as well if I don't find anything!

Oh and here is a pic of some celebs wearing them! I think they're a fun twist on a classic!

This site, as well as Overstock and Ross Simons, has a few different sizes of yellow gold sideways crosses:

I have a tiny little arrow in a similar style to the cross. It was a gift from Vale. It is super delicate and I love it. Tons of compliments. I actually don't take it off so it is durable too. I would see if they have the sideways cross. I have a friend with one. Going to ask her who the maker was. It is delicate too so pretty. The one posted above looks really bulky to me for some reason.

HI:

I saw this designers side crosses/pieces several years ago, and wish I had bought one then. Very stylish.

This site wouldn't work for me this morning, but I am glad that I tried again this evening. I think the crosses are gorgeous. They look like reproductions of jewelry from the Middle Ages!

AGBF, I love the ones on shimmer and stone! I am going to try an etsy seller first in faux gold to make sure I like the style, but if so I may buy one of the ones on that site down the road.

Hatha, Vale has some cute stuff! And their prices seem reasonable too!

Canuk-gal, looove that site! So edgy looking! Thanks for popping in!

So, I decided to order two from an etsy seller. She has been great to work with! I'll post pics when they come in! I got an 18" one centered and a 32" on off center.

I like the variety this vendor offers. I don't know if I would wear a sideways cross, but if I did, I think I would wear it off-center. I look forward to seeing your necklaces and, I hope, to seeing some shots of it on your neck! (I think rose gold would look lovely, too!)
