White Pearl Cross Necklace
$675.00
This unique One-of-a-Kind cross necklace is approx. 24” long, and has a sterling silver toggle clasp.
The cross is an antique Ethiopian Coptic cross, and is 3”x2”. For over 1600 years, Christian Ethiopians have worn their crosses as a sign of their faith. Each town or province had its own distinct design.
The pearls are shell pearls and made from mother of pearl. The large silver bicones are antiques and from Mali. The pits and patina of these are beautiful, and they must have a long and interesting history. All the findings are sterling silver.
Hand crafted in the USA with imported materials.
Blue, our resident Blue Jay, has decided that he is in charge of quality control and should be included in the shots, as it is his back yard. He loved pecking at the stones and silver. In the end it was easier to just take the pictures with him in them - when we tried to bribe him away with seeds, he would just land on the camera – making it impossible. I think he thoroughly enjoyed making us laugh!
