Each arm ends in a trefoil bud, a raised boss marks the crossing, and a row of diamonds runs the length of the shaft between fine ridged borders, so that the light breaks across it in points rather than lying flat. Each arm carries its own small ridged bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBudded ends are an old and deliberate form: three lobes at each terminal for the Trinity, twelve in all for the apostles, so that the cross carries the whole Church on its four arms. Crosses of this pattern were worn plain, without a corpus, by people who wanted the sign itself close at hand. The diamond course down the shaft is what makes this one memorable, and the hand antiquing settles differently in every piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe budded cross was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943581331641,"sku":"3c3-1326-B","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1326-B.png?v=1787688760","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-budded-cross-with-diamond-pattern","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
