Dagmar crosses – especially those in gold – have long been one of the Danes’ favorite pieces of jewelry to give as gifts for christenings or confirmations. And it’s easy to understand why, as it’s truly rewarding to see the gift you’ve given being worn by the recipient. That’s exactly what happens with the Dagmar cross, which is widely worn by young girls and women. If you're looking for a gift that stands out a bit more, the Dagmar cross is also available in silver with genuine enamel.
The Classic! You can never go wrong with a Dagmar cross in gold.
Are you searching for the perfect piece of jewelry for a christening?
Well, you can stop your search right now, as there's hardly a more suitable gift for a christening than a Dagmar cross, preferably in gold.
When I took over the store back in 2004, we sold a tremendous number of gold Dagmar crosses for christenings. It was one of those pieces of jewelry that were often given by grandparents.
We had many customers proudly telling us that they had purchased 6, 7, or 8 crosses from us for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it had become a tradition for them to give this piece.
Back then, there weren't as many different models as there are today.
Now, they come in various materials, such as silver, gold-plated silver, and, of course, gold. Over time, they have also been made in different sizes and with a variety of backsides to suit different preferences, whether you want it engraved or with the Lord's Prayer on the back or with the five saints.
The Affordable Classic.
While the gold Dagmar cross remains our bestseller, we also sell many Dagmar crosses in silver. Not everyone prefers the golden hues, and for them, silver is the perfect choice.
Silver offers not only its timeless beauty but also affordability compared to gold. This makes it accessible to a broader range of people who appreciate its elegance.
Much like their gold counterparts, Dagmar crosses in silver come in various sizes and designs, featuring options with the Lord's Prayer, a blank back for engraving, and depictions of the five saints.
In fact, we even offer a particularly exquisite silver Dagmar cross adorned with a small, eco-friendly diamond at the top, adding an extra touch of femininity and charm to the piece.
Dagmark crosses are most commonly worn on short necklaces that sit snugly around the neck.
Typically, these necklaces come in lengths of 36 or 38 cm, which are popular choices for gifting on christenings. Initially, the necklace may feel a bit long, but over time, it adjusts to a comfortable fit.
For adults seeking a Dagmar cross necklace, I recommend lengths of 40, 42, or 45 cm. The 40 cm length is ideal for those with a delicate neck.
Alternatively, you can create a striking look by wearing a Dagmar cross on a long necklace, allowing it to be visible over your clothing. In this case, I would suggest lengths ranging from 60 cm to 90 cm.
Most people opt for a Venetian chain, a round anchor chain, or an anchor facet chain for their Dagmar cross necklace. These traditional and classic chain styles complement both silver and gold Dagmar crosses.
With a Dagmar cross necklace, you express elegance and your faith in God. All that's left is to choose between silver or gold, with or without the Lord's Prayer.
The Dagmark Cross is notably used as a gift for christenings and confirmations.
In recent times, it has actually become quite fashionable among young girls.
In general, we've seen a growing preference for gold jewelry, as it tends to endure better than gilded pieces available in the market. Furthermore, older heirloom pieces such as Bismark and brickwork patterns are making a comeback, cherished by young girls.
It's truly heartwarming to witness the appreciation for vintage and sentimental value in the realm of jewelry, with older heirlooms coming into the light once again.

In conclusion, I can't emphasize enough that the Dagmar Cross makes for the ideal christening gift.
More often than not, people opt for a dainty and exquisite Dagmar Cross with a gold chain. However, there are also those who prefer the cross in silver.
In such cases, the soaring price of gold often plays a decisive role, as it continues to rise. That's precisely why we offer Dagmar Crosses in gold-plated options as well.
Choosing the right material for your Dagmar Cross can be a challenging decision. Allow me to provide some guidance, as we sell a wide variety of crosses, both online and in our store in Odense.
Most individuals choose the Dagmar Cross in genuine gold, either 8kt or 14kt. Nevertheless, with the recent increase in gold prices, more people are considering gold-plated silver options due to their affordability.
If you're in need of a chain for your cross, I would recommend a 38cm chain, either a Venecia or a round anchor chain at that length, especially if it's intended for a child or a baby.
Today, Dagmar Crosses are available in silver, gold-plated silver, and gold, offered in various designs and sizes. You have the option to purchase a Dagmar Cross with a chain or just the pendant separately.
We can clearly see that gold-plated and gold jewelry is all the rage today. They possess a wonderfully warm color that complements everyone, and our 14-karat gold Dagmar Cross, in particular, is a top-selling item.
As something new and exciting, the Dagmar Cross is now also available in silver with a gold-plated finish. This option makes the price much more affordable for most, although it's important to remember that the gold plating may wear off over time, returning the Dagmar Cross to its silver appearance.
You have three distinct styles to choose from: one featuring the five saints, another with a blank backside for personal engravings, and a third with the Lord's Prayer.
What's common among all of them is the wide range of sizes available, making it easy for you to find the one that perfectly suits your taste.
Our best-selling Dagmar Cross is this one, available in both gold and gold-plated silver. It stands out with a slightly bolder design compared to many other crosses, featuring a beautiful front side with Jesus on the cross.
On the reverse side, you'll find the Lord's Prayer. This feature is especially convenient for those who might have some difficulty remembering the text, as it's right there at your fingertips.
The Dagmar Cross is frequently given as a gift for baptisms and confirmations. However, there's a growing trend where even older young women are embracing and wearing this cross once more.
Exciting news – you can now own the exquisite Dagmar Cross in the form of a bracelet. These bracelets make for the ideal gift, especially for those who already have the Dagmar Cross as a necklace pendant.
The cross is elegantly fastened on both ends of a delicate chain, creating a simple and graceful look without the need for a large pendant. These Dagmar Cross bracelets are available in two sizes, and both options come in either silver or gold-plated silver.
In addition to these classic bracelet designs, Lund Copenhagen has introduced a new and contemporary version featuring an open Dagmar Cross as a round pendant placed at the center of the chain. This provides a variety of styles to suit different tastes.
