Natural Gemstone Crosses Set in .925 Silver Settings
The cross cut requires precise lapidary work. Stones must have consistent hardness across the grain to hold clean angles without chipping. Quartz varieties like amethyst and citrine (Mohs 7) cut well into this shape. Softer stones like turquoise (Mohs 5-6) demand extra care during shaping and setting. Our sterling silver settings use 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for structural integrity. This composition prevents the metal from bending under daily wear while maintaining the white luster that complements both warm and cool-toned gemstones. Prong and bezel settings protect stone edges where the cross arms meet. We source rough material from established mining regions: Arizona turquoise, Baltic amber, Brazilian topaz, and Thai sapphire among them. Each pair ships with information about the specific stone type and its properties. SilverRush Style has operated from the US since 2005, and our return policy gives you 60 days to evaluate your purchase at home.What gemstones work best for cross shape earrings?
Stones rating 6 or higher on the Mohs hardness scale hold the cross shape well over time. Amethyst, garnet, topaz, and peridot all fall in this range. Softer stones like opal and turquoise require protective bezel settings.
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
.925 sterling silver contains no nickel in our settings. The posts and backs use the same silver alloy as the visible portions, making them compatible with most metal sensitivities.
How should I store cross shape earrings?
Keep pairs in separate cloth pouches or lined compartments. The extended shape of cross cuts makes them more prone to contact scratches when stored loose with other jewelry.
