Snake Chain Charm Necklace

Care depends on your piece's material. A universal rule: put jewelry on last (after lotions, perfume, and hair products), wipe with a soft cloth after wearing, and store pieces separately in the pouch provided.

Sterling Silver 925

Silver naturally tarnishes over time — this is normal. Remove before showers, swimming, exercise, and applying products. For tarnish, use a soft polishing cloth or a jewelry-specific silver cleaner (never harsh household chemicals). Tip: wearing silver often actually helps prevent tarnish.

18K Gold-Plated

The most delicate to maintain. Remove before all water exposure, exercise, and contact with perfume, lotion, or cosmetics. Avoid sleeping in delicate chains. Clean only with a soft dry cloth — never cleaners or chemicals. With proper care, the finish typically lasts 1–3 years; high-contact areas like clasps may show wear first.

PVD Stainless Steel

Our most durable, lowest-maintenance option — resistant to tarnish, fading, and scratching. Water-resistant, but still remove before chlorinated or salt water. Clean with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Each GUIDED BY CROSS piece is carefully crafted with premium materials: sterling silver 925, 18K gold-plated, or PVD stainless steel. We also incorporate zirconia crystals and natural stones like tiger's eye and lapis lazuli. We personally inspect every item before shipping to ensure you receive jewelry worthy of your faith.

Our medals don't come pre-blessed, but they are made with reverence and respect. Many customers choose to have their medals blessed by their local priest or spiritual leader, making the piece even more personal and meaningful to their faith journey.
