Product Details
This simple Celtic cross in yellow bronze is the ringed Irish cross reduced to its essentials: four squared arms, a circle binding them where they meet, and the four quadrants cut open so light passes through. There is no knotwork and no lettering, only softly rounded edges and a plain, slightly domed surface that takes the antiqued finish well.
The ring around the crossing is the oldest distinguishing mark of the high crosses of Ireland and Scotland, the ones that stood in monastery yards and at crossroads and preached to people who could not read. It has been understood as the circle of eternity and as the halo of Christ in glory, and either reading suits a cross this quiet. At just over an inch it is an easy piece for daily wear, restrained enough for a man and small enough for a child.
The 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
