Rounded Sterling Silver Cross Pendant with Real Pressed Flowers — Handmade in Mexico City, 9 Background Colors, 16-18 inch Adjustable Chain
A Petite Rounded Sterling Silver Cross with Real Pressed Flowers
This rounded cross combines the warmth of a curved design with the artistry of real pressed flowers — solid sterling silver, hand-finished in Mexico City — set against a translucent background that lets light pass through the resin and bring out the colors of the flowers within. The rounded arms give the cross a softer, more feminine feel than rectangular cross designs, while the small scale (0.8 inches tall by 1.1 inches wide) keeps it suitable for daily wear without becoming a statement piece.
The cross comes from the same third-generation artisan workshop in Mexico City that produces our larger pressed-flower devotional pieces, including pieces sold at the gift shops of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Available Background Colors

Stock levels vary by color, with some colors having very limited availability. The variant selector above shows current availability.
About the Design
Rounded arms, softer silhouette
The four arms of this cross are gently rounded rather than squared off, giving the piece a softer, more feminine character than traditional Latin cross designs. The shape reads as warm and approachable, and the small scale keeps the cross from dominating the neckline.
Real pressed flowers in translucent resin
The flowers are real — grown, dried, and arranged by hand by Mexican artisans. The composition typically includes small wildflowers, gypsophila (baby's breath), and pressed petals. The resin background is more translucent than the medium cross in our collection, allowing natural light to pass through and bringing out the layered colors of the flowers within.
Sterling silver pendant, silver-plated chain
The cross pendant is solid sterling silver (925 standard). The chain is silver-plated, measuring 16 inches with a 2-inch extender for an adjustable length of 16 to 18 inches. If you prefer a sterling silver chain to match the pendant, sterling silver chains in these lengths are widely available, and the cross will fit any standard chain.

Who This Cross Is For
This is the cross for those who want a small, daily-wear sterling silver cross with personal color expression. The rounded shape and modest scale make it appropriate for women and girls who prefer softer jewelry shapes, and for those who want a cross that complements their wardrobe rather than dominating it.
It works well as a Confirmation gift for a teen who knows her color preference, a Quinceañera keepsake, a Mother's Day gift, a graduation gift, or a personal piece worn alongside other devotional jewelry. The cross is non-denominational in form, suitable for Christian women across denominations.
The 16-to-18-inch adjustable chain length is appropriate for adults and older teenagers. For young children under 5, we do not recommend any chain necklace due to standard safety considerations.
A Note on Layering
The adjustable 16-18 inch chain places the cross at or just above the collarbone. At this length, the cross works well alone or layered above a longer chain (20"-26") to hold a longer pendant, such as a scapular, Miraculous Medal, or Saint Christopher. The small, rounded shape adds detail without competing visually with whatever hangs below.
Care
Keep away from perfumes, lotions, water, and direct sunlight. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Clean only the silver edges with a soft polishing cloth — avoid silver dips and chemical cleaners, which can damage the painted background, resin, and flowers. Store in the original gift box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my favorite color is sold out?
Stock levels vary by color, and some colors have very limited availability. The variant selector reflects current stock. If your preferred color is unavailable, contact us — we can let you know whether restocking is planned. We also have other pressed-flower crosses in our catalog in single-color options.
Are all colors the same price?
Yes. All color variants are priced the same. The price reflects the construction (sterling silver, hand-pressed flowers, hand-painted background), which is identical across colors. Only the background color differs.
How does this compare to your other pressed-flower crosses?
This rounded cross is one of our smaller, more delicate pressed-flower designs, measuring 0.8 by 1.1 inches, with curved arms that read as softer than those of rectangular cross designs. Our Medium Cross (1.4 by 1.1 inches) is significantly larger with a more pronounced dimensional construction and a flat geometric shape. Our Dainty Cross (0.5 by 0.4 inches) is much smaller, sized for minimal jewelry or for young girls. All three come from the same Mexico City workshop and use the same sterling silver and pressed-flower technique.
Is the cross really sterling silver?
Yes, the cross pendant is solid sterling silver (92.5% pure silver, the 925 standard). The chain is silver-plated. The cross will fit any standard sterling silver chain if you prefer to upgrade.
Are the flowers real?
Yes. Real flowers grown and dried by Mexican artisans are placed individually inside the cross and sealed under clear resin. The flowers are not printed, not silk — they are once-living plants permanently preserved.
Will my cross look exactly like the photo?
The background color, rounded shape, and overall design are consistent within each color variant. The exact placement and selection of pressed flowers will vary slightly because each piece is arranged by hand. Slight variations are part of handmade artisan work, not defects.
Are the colors meaningful in Catholic tradition?
Some are. Violet is the liturgical color of Lent and Advent. Red is associated with the Sacred Heart, the Passion of Christ, and Christmas. Green is the color of Ordinary Time and hope. The other colors (pink, yellow, orange, brown, grey, black) are a
