{"product_id":"vintage-bronze-small-cross-button","title":"Vintage Bronze Small Cross Button","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage Bronze Small Cross Button is a half inch of quiet folk devotion: a plain stepped cross with a sunken center on a gently domed face, with four clusters of three raised beads marking the points around it. That is the whole design, and it is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevotional buttons like this were once made to be sewn onto a coat, a bag or a cloak, so that a cross went everywhere its owner did without ever being on show. The stepped form is the cross raised on its Calvary steps, and the three beads standing at each of the four quarters carry the Trinity out to the four corners of the world, which is a good deal of catechism for half an inch. Because it is cast rather than stamped, the beads and the arms vary a little in crispness from one to the next, and the antiqued finish settles into each differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis button 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":48943581495481,"sku":"3c3-1327-B","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1327-B.png?v=1787688758","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-small-cross-button","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
