We have a nice collection of Religious Jewelry that includes 14kt gold and 14kt white gold crosses that are hand crafted in Boston.

Explanation of different looking crosses:

The cross with which most Roman Catholics are familiar is technically termed the “Latin Cross,” which has the long vertical beam crossed about two-thirds up by a horizontal beam. This type of cross is believed to be the one upon which the Romans crucified our Lord, nailing His outstretched hands to the ends of the horizontal beam and his feet to the lower portion of the vertical beam.

In the Eastern Rite tradition of our Roman Catholic Church and for the Orthodox Churches, a tradition developed of adding a shorter horizontal beam above the one holding the arms, and at the bottom of the cross, a lower slanted beam. This type of cross is commonly called the “Eastern Cross.”
