The Cross Necklace

The cross is recognized throughout the world as symbol of the Christian faith, and different cultures have stylized it according to their artistic traditions: there's the Greek cross, the Celtic cross and the Maltese cross to name a few. The Latin is perhaps the more widely known, and as a cross pendant it has become a fashionable accessory worn by non-Christians too. At Novica we have put together a dazzling array of cross necklaces designed by artisan jewelers and silversmiths from around the world. Silver and gold filigree cross necklaces from Peru dazzle with intricate craftsmanship. Threads of fine silver become detailed, florid ornamentation. Flowers also adorn hand-carved mate gourd cross silver pendants. Indian and Indonesian artists select a variety of gemstones to create a vibrant alchemy of colors that is underscored by the cool sheen of silver. From Mexico, the modern design of a silver cross necklace surrounded by coconut shell beads or hanging from quality suede becomes an original gift for him.
