14K Yellow Gold INRI Crucifix Pendant Necklace vs 14k Gold Crucifix Beaded Rosary Necklace

Buy the tubular crucifix pendant if you want a small, solid 14k piece that works as a discreet everyday or baptism gift. Buy the beaded rosary necklace if you want a longer, more visible Catholic piece with a 24-inch chain. The pendant is smaller and lighter at 21 x 13 mm and 2.3 mm thick; the rosary charm is larger at 32 x 21 mm and the chain is 3 mm beaded. Owners of small polished 14k pendants report the high-polish finish shows scratches over time, and semi-solid beaded chains can dent if pulled.

• Choose the tubular crucifix pendant if you want a compact, solid 14k cross on a thin chain for a child, a baptism or confirmation gift, or daily wear under a shirt.
• Choose the beaded rosary necklace if you want a longer 24-inch chain and a bigger crucifix that shows above a neckline.
