Italian 14kt Yellow Gold Crucifix Pendant vs 14K Yellow Gold INRI Crucifix Pendant Necklace

Buy the Italian pendant if you already own a chain and want a flat, detailed crucifix from a known gold-jewelry maker. Buy the INRI tubular crucifix if you want a complete necklace out of the box, since it ships with a solid gold chain and a gift box. Both are solid 14kt yellow gold with a polished finish, so durability is similar; the real split is the bail and the included chain. Owners of Italian gold pendants tend to praise the finishing, while buyers of tubular crosses like the rounded, three-dimensional look.

• Choose the Italian crucifix pendant if you have a chain you like and want a flat, finely detailed cross from an Italian maker.
• Choose the INRI tubular crucifix if you want a ready-to-wear necklace with a chain and gift box included.
