i got an olive wood cross today but, I believe the style is gothic. I didn't know until after. Is this still a Holy cross or is it bad?

I'm worried now. I want a cross to wear but can't wear metal.

I also ordered a Style A cross from here:
https://www.stpatricksguild.com/inexpensive-wood-cross-pendant-on-adjustable-cords/

Should I just wait to get that one or can I still wear the one I got today? (pictured below)

You don't need to wear a cross as it has become meaningless as a symbol with satanic rock stars donning them and all sort of reprobate unrepentant sinners wearing them but in reality denying Christ. I believe the first symbol worn by believers in Christ was a fish not a cross. I find if my testimony isn't good enough to draw people to Christ a symbol will only seem hypocritical to me.

I don't see a cross as a holy thing. Rather, it's a symbol that reminds us of Christ's death for us. There may be a particular kind of cross whose design symbolizes something specifically for you. But for most people, they're pretty much the same.
