Christliche Halsketten & Kreuzketten

Christian necklaces wear the faith visibly, or quietly under the collar. Here you will find cross necklaces in olive wood, handcrafted in Bethlehem, Marian necklaces with the Miraculous Medal, cross necklaces in 925 sterling silver and a tau cross bracelet.

Prices start at €7.90. A Catholic priest blesses many items in our warehouse, and a certificate card showing the date is included. That turns the necklace into a gift with meaning, for example for a christening, Communion or Confirmation.

Olive wood cross necklaces from Bethlehem

Most of the collection consists of necklaces in olive wood, handcrafted in Bethlehem according to the product data. You will find the simple cross, the openwork cross, the Byzantine cross, the tau cross (the Franciscan sign), crosses with a heart or figure of Christ, and motifs with a dove, which stands for the Holy Spirit. Olive wood has its own grain, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Most necklaces cost €9.90 (as of October 2026). You can find out more about material and origin in the collection Olive wood from Bethlehem.

Marian necklaces and silver necklaces

For the Virgin Mary there are necklaces with the Miraculous Medal, in blue, silver and antique silver, some 60 cm long and some with a velvet pouch. One necklace with Madonna and Child bears the German inscription “Gott schütze dich” (“God protect you”). If you are looking for something finer, you will find cross necklaces in 925 sterling silver with a velvet pouch (€34.90 and €39.90). There are also a stainless steel Lord's Prayer cross necklace, crucifix necklaces (also with a St Benedict medal) and pin badges such as “Team Jesus”.

Which necklace suits which occasion?

For children at First Holy Communion, small olive wood necklaces are popular; for teenagers at Confirmation a simple tau cross or a necklace with a dove; for a christening more a delicate pendant that parents or godparents keep for the child.

Blessed and with a certificate

Wearing, giving, keeping

A cross necklace is often worn for a lifetime or kept with honour. Children usually wear it only for the celebration and on special occasions, teenagers like to wear it under their T-shirt. If you are buying for a child, choose a short, simple necklace and pay attention to the length. The olive wood necklaces are light, so they do not get in the way. They should not come into contact with a lot of water: it is better to take them off for showering and swimming. Wipe metal and silver necklaces with a soft cloth, and silver with a silver polishing cloth if needed.

A Catholic priest blesses many of our items in our warehouse; a certificate card showing the date of the blessing is included. Whether a necklace is blessed is stated in the product title. Some necklaces come with a velvet pouch that you can use straight away for giving. For groups, such as a whole Communion or Confirmation group, there is a quantity discount on request (More about the quantity discount).
