Abstract
An articulated cross pendant, such as may be worn on a necklace around the neck of a user, is disclosed. The pendant has an upright bar crossed by a horizontal bar. The horizontal bar has right and left arms extending to the left and to the right of the upright bar, respectively. The upright bar may have an upper portion extending upward and a lower portion extending downward from the horizontal bar. The lower portion may be elongated such that it is longer than the upper portion and longer than each of the right and left arms of the horizontal bar. The top end of the upper portion may be looped, and the lower portion is fully articulated to prevent the ends of the upright bar, worn on a necklace, from poking or piercing the skin of a user when the user bows the head downward toward the chest.
