Crosses or crucifiction, then mostly silver ones of blessed virgin Mary or one of the saints for various reasons like, finding the lost, or a traveler, sailor, healer, etc.

sillyshyboyme,  Catholics wear the same thing any other person would wear.  They wear jewelry of all kinds.  They might wear a small crucifix with pretty stones in it as a necklace.  Of course, people of other faiths might wear the same type of crucifix necklace.  Some may wear a small medal on a chain of a favorite Saint.  Some of the older Catholics may still wear a small scapular around their neck, which is a Christian Sacramental.  See the link below for the meaning of a scapular.  Otherwise, they really don't wear anything different than any other person.

The two most popular that I know of are a Cross or the Miraculous Metal.

I personally wear a small silver crucifix. I grew up wearing a St. Christopher medal as we moved all over the US.
