The Matt Redman song “Blessed Be Your Name” beautifully describes the sort of faith that remains and that is able to praise God in both good times and bad:

Blessed Be Your Name/In the land that is plentiful/Where Your streams of abundance flow/Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name/When I’m found in the desert place/Though I walk through the wilderness/Blessed Be Your name

Faith takes different forms as we walk through life’s joys and challenges, becoming deep and multifaceted as we learn to trust God fully in all circumstances and to give Him glory in every situation. Gemstone crosses in a variety of colorful designs are the perfect way to celebrate the many shades of your faith, and the many ways that your Creator has shown Himself to be trustworthy in your life.

The deeply-colored gemstones in the Sapphire Flower Cross Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold can serve as a reminder that even when life seems the darkest, God will never leave you or forsake you. A single diamond glitters from the center of this striking cross, accented by 12 sapphires that provide richly-hued contrast. Six of these dark blue gems are round stones that surround the center diamond like the petals of a flower, while the remaining six are baguette shaped and form the arms of this statement of faith. A setting and bale of shining 14K yellow gold makes these gemstones stand out and gives this pendant a sense of timeless class.

If you’re looking for a gemstone cross with distinctively feminine flair, don’t miss the sparkling Princess-Cut Pink Sapphire Cross Necklace in 14K White Gold! This perfectly pretty pendant is hard to miss as a total of 12 princess-cut pink sapphires, weighing in at over three-quarter carats in all, fill a gleaming white gold cross with eye-catching color. These unique, vibrant gems are accented by tiny diamonds that glimmer from the end of each arm of this budded-style cross, for a look that’s sparkling and sophisticated. At 1 1/8” high including the gleaming 14 white gold bale, this piece is big enough to be noticed, but small enough to retain its feminine charm.

Gemstone cross pendants with red stones are reminders of Christ’s matchless love that was demonstrated by His ultimate sacrifice, and the Diamond and Ruby Cross Pendant in 14K White Gold is a gorgeous example. A 2mm-high heart-shaped ruby draws eyes from the center of this cross, while 15 round diamonds accent the arms, held by shining 14K white gold.

Women’s cross pendants that feature colored gemstones are the perfect way to declare the many shades of your faith. One glance at one of these pieces can remind you that you can place your faith fully in your Creator in all situations.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Honor her for all that her hands have done,

    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”

This 7/8”-high piece is meticulously engraved with a delicate floral pattern, placing a single open blossom in the center of the cross and filling in the rest with elegant paisley-like swirls. A thin border of shining 14K white gold frames this design as it dangles from a gleaming white gold bale.

It’s because of the greatest of all gifts that we can receive a clean slate, no matter what lies in the past. This great act of love also enables us to love one another, and the ability to forgive is one of the most remarkable qualities of true love. The apostle Peter wrote about the power of love in allowing us to see past the faults of others: “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude of sins.’” Peter was actually quoting the words of King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, as recorded in the book of Proverbs: “Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.”

True love provides the ability to see past one another’s shortcomings, and to forgive as we’ve been forgiven. However, sometimes we need a little reminder of this, and a piece of meaningful jewelry can readily serve this purpose. Apples of Gold’s collection of women’s crosses provides many beautiful symbols of the greatest act of love of all time—and of the way we are to love and forgive in return.

Pendants that combine hearts with crosses provide straightforward pictures of the love that Christ demonstrated 2,000 years ago. For instance, the Diamond Heart Cross-Knot Pendant in 14K Gold creates a cross from a flowing ribbon of gleaming 14K yellow gold, and places a graceful heart in the center. This heart is accented by three small round diamonds that add sparkle and speak of the matchless, precious nature of the greatest gift of love. An 18-inch 14K gold chain is included, making this pendant perfect for gift-giving.

For a look that clearly conveys the motivation behind the cross, consider the Heart Cross Pendant in 14K White Gold. This feminine pendant uses five white gold hearts, each polished to a high shine to form the shape of a cross. This inch-high pendant packs a lot of symbolism into a petite package.

Inspired by a verse from Song of Solomon, the Rose of Sharon Cross Pendant in 14K Gold creates a cross from a rose in bloom, symbolizing the life that results when we embrace true love and forgiveness. The graceful stem and leaves that constitute the arms of the cross are crafted from solid 14K yellow gold, while the blossom in the center stands out in contrasting 14K rose gold. This delicate, uniquely beautiful two-tone pendant makes a statement that’s gentle but powerful.

Any of these cross pendants can readily bring to mind the love that was demonstrated on the cross and the way we are to love in return. Try one to celebrate the greatest gift of all.
