A baptism cross necklace is a keepsake of faith that a child can treasure for life. Our christening and baptism necklaces include solid gold baby cross necklaces for girls and boys, plus personalized pendants engraved with the baptism date.

Our children's cross necklaces are crafted in solid 14K gold, in designs like Forever Faithful, Eternal Grace and Infinity Cross, with styles for both baby girls and baby boys. For a personal keepsake, choose an engravable sterling silver heart or round pendant and add the child's name and baptism date, with engraving included.

Our “Design Your Own” necklaces can include a cross charm or other meaningful symbols from our selection of more than 30 charms.

When choosing, think about how the necklace will be used. A solid gold cross is a classic heirloom for the day itself and for later milestones, while an engraved pendant records the date in a personal way. Godparents sometimes pair a cross with a matching pair of earrings so the child has a complete keepsake set.

For safety, young children should wear necklaces only under supervision, and many families keep a christening necklace for special occasions until the child is older. Every gift arrives in our complimentary signature wrapping and ships free within the US.
