Sideways cross jewelry trend
Question from Sandra on 3/28/2012:

I recently bought and made bracelets to give for Easter using sideways cross charms. I didn't realize it was a trend until after I had purchased and made them. Before I give them away, I wanted to be sure they had no evil meaning behind them. I didn't like them at first and now I like the idea of wearing the cross on my wrist. Is there anything wrong with wearing crosses (specifically sideways crosses) as jewelry?

Answer by Catholic Answers on 3/30/2012:

Sandra--

People have been wearing crosses for centuries. No, there is nothing wrong with wearing a cross, or with placing it sideways on a bracelet (which is probably done to minimize the potential for the cross catching on shirt sleeves and being ripped off the bracelet).
