gold cross

Precious metal crucifix

A gold cross is a cross made of or colored gold, typically worn as jewelry or displayed as a religious symbol.

The combination of precious metal with the Christian cross suggests both faith and wealth.

In jewelry, a gold cross pendant is among the most common expressions of religious devotion: She never took off the gold cross her grandmother gave her.
