This pendant is a super cute, handmade Celtic cross, and you can grab it in either .925 sterling silver, stainless steel or antique bronze! The Celtic Cross is such a powerful symbol, blending both Celtic and Christian traditions. Its unique design—with the cross and circle—represents the unity of the spiritual world and the eternal flow of life. And let’s not forget that gorgeous knotwork, symbolizing the deep, unbreakable connection between Celtic heritage and Christian faith. It's a little piece of history and meaning you can wear! DETAILS Materials: available in either .925 sterling silver, a mix of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper, or antique bronze, a mix of 90% copper and 10% tin. Both are free of nickel, zinc or cadmium, which are common metal allergens, which can cause rashes and sores. For more info on bronze, read the blog post or consult my FAQ Stainless steel is an affordable material to create hypoallergenic jewellery for those sensitive to costume jewellery. Stainless steel is a tougher material than gold and silver and is ideal for everyday wear for those that are hard on your jewellery. The stainless steel I use is 316L grade to make sure you get no allergic reactions as 316L grade stainless steel is nickel free, lead free and cadmium free. Moreover, stainless steel is water resistant and doesn't tarnish and doesn't required a lot of care. It does take more work to finish pieces cast in stainless steel and can take longer to get cast, so the processing time is 2-3 weeks depending on the caster. Pendant Dimensions: The pendant is 2.5cm long and 1.6cm wide with a textured back. Shipping: Shipping is with tracking and full insurance. For international buyers, please be aware of taxes and duties are payable to your country and must be paid by the buyer and is not collected by me. Due to the high cost of materials, chains are not included with any of my pendants. If you are looking for a chain, you have a selection found in my Chains & Engravings section of my shop. For any questions about my materials, processing time, and more, check out my FAQ for more info! The Celtic cross has its origins in the early Christian period in Ireland, evolving from the earlier pagan standing stone crosses. Introduced by Celtic missionaries in the 9th and 10th centuries, these crosses uniquely blend Christian symbolism with traditional Celtic knotwork, creating a distinctive and enduring symbol of spiritual significance. Montreal's got a huge Irish community, and no one was making jewellery in that classic style—so I thought, why not me? I found this incredible collection of master designs from a local jeweller who was retiring, and the original designs date all the way back to the ‘40s and ‘50s! I gave them a fresh spin by creating a new mold and started making them in sterling silver and bronze. This Small Celtic Cross Pendant is seriously the perfect gift! Whether for someone on a spiritual journey, someone connected to their Celtic roots, or just anyone who loves symbols of unity and faith, this handmade piece will definitely be cherished. Share the beauty of the Celtic cross with someone special today!
