Vintage Bronze Tiny Cross with Encrusted Relief
Product Details
The Vintage Bronze Tiny Cross is barely bigger than a fingernail, and every surface of it is worked. The arms taper to soft points, the upright swells at the crossing and again below it, and the foot spreads into a small stepped base. Across the whole face runs a fine granulated relief, encrusted and lively, the kind of texture only casting gives.
A cross this size is meant to be lived in rather than looked at. It sits quietly at the throat, warms to the skin, and turns up under the fingers at odd moments of the day, which is much of what a cross is for. It makes an easy first cross for a child, a discreet one for work, and a good companion for anyone who would rather carry the sign of our redemption than announce it. The antiqued finish settles differently into the granulation of each piece, so no two read quite alike.
This 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
