Vintage Yellow Bronze Small Curved Cross with Star Rosettes
Product Details
Everything on the Vintage Yellow Bronze Small Curved Cross with Star Rosettes is made of dots. Rows of raised beads outline each arm, a small star rosette sits at the center of every arm and at the crossing, and the lower arm flares into a wide skirted foot edged with more beading. The granulated surface is what makes it sparkle, the high points taking the light while the recesses stay dark.
Beaded work of this kind belongs to a long folk tradition of cross making, where texture rather than figures carries the ornament and the cross is meant to be handled every day rather than admired at a distance. The gentle curve lets it lie flat against the wearer. With no corpus and no lettering it is quiet enough to suit anyone, and forgiving of ordinary use.
The curved 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
