Fine Crucifix Pendant

For the woman who wears her faith the way she wears her gold: quietly, every day.

This 18k yellow gold rounded crucifix pendant softens the strict line of the traditional cross into a tubular, rounded silhouette finished in a high mirror polish. The figure of Christ at the center is cast in fine relief, and the inscription scroll above the head, "INRI", is set into a gently waved banner that breaks the symmetry. A devotional pendant that reads as devotional without ever reading as severe. The metal is 18k Italian gold, struck with the 750 millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic provincial goldsmithing.

The Florentine bench has cast crucifixes for as long as it has cast anything. The technique was perfected on the Ponte Vecchio after 1593, when the Medici officially registered the bridge as the home of the goldsmith's trade, as a piece of devotional jewelry meant to be worn close to the throat for a lifetime, not displayed in a case. The reverence is in the detail, not the volume.

This is the pendant for the woman who carries her faith every day and would rather feel it than display it. The piece that travels with her without ever announcing itself.

It reads gentle. It reads devotional. It reads as warm Italian gold close to the throat.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. 18k yellow gold, 750 millesimal fineness, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the pendant leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee included.
