Vintage Bronze Nun's Cross with Engraved Sacred Heart
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Nun's Cross with Engraved Sacred Heart wears its whole decoration in fine hand engraving rather than raised relief. At the crossing is a heart with flames rising from it, a small looped flourish above, and a line of cursive script running the length of the lower arm.
The flaming heart is the oldest and simplest emblem of the love of Christ — a heart on fire, given away, holding nothing back. Broad, flat pectoral crosses of this kind were worn by members of nineteenth-century religious communities, lying against the habit through a lifetime of prayer, work and silence, and taken off only at the end of it. Nothing about the cross 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
