Vintage Bronze Simple Celtic Cross
Product Details
This simple bronze Celtic cross 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 shows every mark of the hand that finished it.
The ring at the crossing is the oldest distinguishing feature of the high crosses of Ireland and Scotland, the great standing crosses that preached from monastery yards and roadsides to people who could not read a word. It has long been understood as the circle of eternity, and equally as the halo of Christ in glory. At just over an inch this is an easy cross for daily wear, restrained enough for a man's taste and small enough for a child.
The Celtic 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
