Christian jewelry became popular during medieval times when St. Constantine successfully Christianized the Roman Empire. As the Christian faith and beliefs became popular the wearing of Christian religious pieces became more widespread
Christian jewelry mainly includes crosses and crucifixes, denominational medals, depictions of Jesus, Virgin Mary, The Dove, The Mustard seed Christian lockets, the Fish symbol, angels, praying hands, rosary beads and prayer rings.

Christian jewelry items are also brought at times for young children for their first Holy Communion. Christian jewelry for weddings includes mainly cross pendants or white gold jewelry with Christian religious expressions and messages. The Cross is the most popular item since it reassures believers of the eternal love of God and also about the sacrifice of Jesus

The jewelry also needs to be cleansed from time to time and if it is a silver embellishment then it should be prevented from tarnishing.
