Men's Black Necklace with Cross: plain, engraved or crucifix?
Most of these crosses come in several colors, and black is an option on each one. On steel, black is a plating. The real choices are the shape of the cross and how it hangs, so the table focuses on those. Most list a chain as included, and the table shows the chain on each.

A black stainless steel cross necklace
Several crosses here are stainless steel. In black, the Minimalist Cross becomes almost a graphic sign: squared bars, one polished face, no stones and no logo. The Nail Cross has a rougher idea behind it, three smooth, rounded nails tied at the center, and it sits flat on the chest. The Geometric Cross is cut away to outline a second cross inside the first, and the pendant is light enough that you barely notice it. Each of them can stay on at the gym and in the shower.
Black cross necklaces for guys who want it plain
If the cross should not draw comment, look at the Minimalist Cross in small, or the Figaro Chain Cross. The second has square edges and smooth polished faces, about 4 cm (1.6 in) tall, on a chain of alternating long and short links. From a few steps away, the Engraved Cross also reads as a clean shape. The text is only visible up close.
Black crucifix necklaces for men
A crucifix adds the figure. The Crucifix in stainless steel has a detailed cast body and hangs just below the collarbone. The Engraved Crucifix is titanium steel, with fine text along both bars and the figure raised against it. The Risen Christ Cross is the most open design: the figure stands inside a cut-out frame with arms outstretched and light passing through.
Silver and black or black and gold cross necklaces
The Two-Tone Cross comes in black and silver or black and gold-tone, with stepped edges and a slim inner cross set with cubic zirconia. It is a pendant only, with no chain, so plan on one of your own. The Zircon Cross in black has black stones in a small cross at its center, on a box chain that comes with it.
