Good Cross For An Adult To Get Baptized With?

Matrona said:

Whatever cross the godparents and the catechumen want is usually what goes (depending on who's paying for it and how old the catechumen is). Traditionally the godparents purchase the cross, but in my case, I bought it since at the time I could easily afford it, and my godmother is a student like me and I didn't want her to have to buy such an expensive cross.

Most Orthodox guys I know have relatively plain crosses. I think that's a very nice cross, though, and in my own thoroughly non-professional opinion, I think it would be quite all right for a male.

My godmother and her husband are jewelers. So her husband made my cross.
It looks like the crosses you see on monastic schema. It kind of looks like this cross: (I don't know why it came out funky...but if you click on it, it shows up the right way... )
