There’s something profoundly special about wearing Catholic jewelry because it resonates with the soul and takes the wear into depths of devotion and faith.
In this guide, you will discover treasures that are far more precious than gold, diamond, and platinum. Religion-inspired jewelry pieces may have not always been the rave, but they are quickly setting the trend in the fashion world. From stunning pearl medallions to cross rings and more, these jewelry pieces are absolute stunners and not only reserved for devout believers.
So, it is high time to step away from generic gifts to celebrate occasions and festivals. Embrace the extraordinary and gift Catholic jewelry pieces that whisper stories and blessings, with each curve being an ode to divine grace.
Without further ado, let’s look at some of the popular pieces that echo the promise of something timeless and elegant.
1. Sacred Heart and Our Lady Necklaces
At the top of our gifting list are the famous Catholic necklaces, particularly Sacred Heart and Our Lady-themed necklaces. These necklaces convey a feeling of deep gratitude and simplicity and are perfect for just about anyone. So whether it’s a gift for your seven-year-old daughter or a romantic gesture for your partner, you can’t go wrong with a simple Catholic necklace.
You can find Sacred Heart necklaces in the pendant form (Corazon Sagrado) or as simpler medallions, where the Heart is engraved on a golden medallion, which may or may not be encrusted with pearls. Of course, the simpler medallions might be nice options for a kid, and you can reserve the pendant necklaces for your more romantic boxes.
And if you decide to go for the Our Lady-themed necklaces, you will find an assortment of colors, themes, and gemstone-studded pendants and medallions. For the pendants, you will get a more eye-catching engraving of the Virgin Mary on a gem–like a pearl–or a golden plaque, surrounded by pearls or turquoises and different colors. As always, the medallions offer a simpler depiction of Mary, although they might also have gemstones in their surroundings, like the Mary Medallion turquoise and pearl variants.
2. Rosary Bracelets and Rings
Does your gifting list this year comprise any religious persons? Then, a rosary bracelet might be a more thoughtful gift item for them! The rosary is becoming quite the statement in the fashion world, so your folks are going to absolutely love it.
Rosary bracelets will comprise beads, which may be rosewood, aquamarine, or quartz, connected to a crucifix, which may be made from pearl or regular metal. Depending on the type, rosaries may have a medallion woven into the bracelet in place of a crucifix. The rosary rings are a much simpler choice, coming as golden pieces that appeal to everyone, religious or not.
With the sudden rave for rosaries in the fashion world, they are also top gift ideas for your loved ones who are particularly fashion-forward. Nothing like a simple brown rosewood rosary bracelet to complement a stunning outfit!
3. Cross Jewelry
Crosses are the most versatile of Catholic jewelry, and although some were strongly against its use in secular fashion, everyone seems to want it even more than ever. With celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna leading the trend, crosses are now a constant feature in most dressers, and you have a wide range of cross jewelry to choose from, necklaces and rings alike.
The cross necklaces could come in solid gold, silver, or a mix of metal and stones to give them better appeal. You can also have crosses cut out of precious stones like opals and onyxes, and like the dainty crosses, some have turquoise stones embedded in a gold cross pendant.
Cross studs are another fashion gift idea, especially for those who love to wear their faith, and you have mostly gold and silver options for earrings. Unlike necklaces, cross studs offer a balance between style and simplicity, and that just does the trick for some people.
4. Catholic Rings
Rings are an excellent gift idea you might have, especially if you’re looking to add them to other jewelry gifts you have boxed, and Catholic rings have quite a variety of ring types. From cross-studded rings to rings depicting images of the Virgin Mary, you can give your loved ones a statement accessory that won’t be burdensome for them.
The cross rings are typically golden, and they often have little beads on them that could represent a rosary. Other kinds of rings, like the Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe rings, sport colorful engravings and intricate designs on the bond.
Rings are the very statement of simplicity and quiet beauty, and depending on your folks and their personalities, Catholic rings could turn out to be the perfect gift indeed.
