Product Details
The Vintage White Bronze Nun's Cross with Engraved Sacred Heart is broad, flat and quietly worked, its decoration engraved by hand rather than cast in relief. A flaming heart sits at the crossing with a small looped flourish above it, and a line of fine cursive script runs down the lower arm. The pale white bronze gives the engraving a soft, silvery clarity.
The burning heart is the oldest emblem of the love of Christ, a heart on fire and given away, and it is the whole devotion held in one shape. Plain pectoral crosses like this were worn by members of nineteenth-century religious communities, lying against the habit through years of prayer, work and silence. Nothing about it asks for attention. It suits anyone who would rather carry a devotion than display one.
The nun's 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.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
