Lynx Gold-Tone Cross Pendant Necklace vs 14K Gold Crucifix Cross Necklace

Buy the Lynx if you want a men's cross that can take daily wear: stainless steel with ion plating holds up to sweat and knocks, and the 24-inch brick chain sits right on a larger frame. Buy the 14K crucifix if you want a smaller, dressier piece with a warmer gold look for a woman or a slimmer neck. The Lynx is the sturdier, more masculine build; the 14K piece wins on finish and refinement, though 14K plating over a base metal will wear through faster than solid stainless.

• Choose the Lynx if you want a 24-inch men's cross in stainless steel that survives daily wear and a larger frame.
• Choose the 14K crucifix if you want a small, dressier gold cross with a real 14K plating finish for a woman or a slimmer neck.
