Diamond Cross and Heart Necklaces

When it comes to fine jewelry, two of the most popular pendant shapes are the diamond cross and the diamond heart necklaces. The cross is a symbol of Christianity, faith and rebirth and the heart is symbolic of love and devotion.

However when most people think of crosses they think only of the Christian crucifix. However when shopping for online diamond jewelry you will notice that many sites also sell other versions of the cross including the Celtic cross, the Ankh (the Egyptian cross) and the pagan cross - which looks like an X.

However the image of the Christian cross is the most popular pendant seen in online diamond jewelry. The diamond cross necklace that consists mainly of white diamonds symbolizes purity and the Holy Ghost. A ruby and diamond cross necklace has the additional symbolism of the blood of Christ. A sapphire and diamond cross necklace symbolizes loyalty and Christian wisdom

When shopping for online diamond jewelry you will also notice that the diamond heart necklace comes in many different designs including the cupid's arrow through the heart, two hearts intertwined and the heart with a lock and key. Diamond heart necklaces are also more likely to be combined with rubies, garnets or pink sapphires to symbolize passion and love.

It is also quite common to find necklaces with a single heart shaped diamond stone as the pendant. These types of tiny diamond heart necklaces are also often packaged with a matching diamond ring and a pair of diamond heart necklaces. Diamond necklaces that are packaged with matching rings, bracelets or earrings are called "diamond suites."
