Design Inspiration
The design borrows its curling leaves and layered scrollwork from Baroque ornament. The carver used the leaf tips to shape the outline of the cross itself. Look closely at the longer lower arm and you can follow those curves from the central flower all the way to the tip.
FAQ
Does the pendant come with a chain?
Yes. It comes with a chunky steel chain that threads through the sterling silver bail.
Are the leaves and flower carved into the jade?
Yes. Both are carved into the black jadeite. The raised floral detail you see at the center is part of the stone.
How large does the cross look when worn?
At just over two inches long, it makes a noticeable centerpiece over a plain tee. A light-colored shirt brings out the curled outline especially well.
Who It’s For

Care Guidelines
