An inseparable Christian symbol of faith in God, the cross of Jesus is a virtuoso creation that unites innovative solutions with classic jewellery techniques, revealing a truly contemporary work of sacred art to the world.

A unique patented mechanism allows the wearer to use the pendant in two ways: as a small cross worn on its own, or as part of a larger cross designed to receive it. Traditionally, the smaller cross is given to a child at baptism by the godparent, and later in life, upon reaching adulthood, the larger cross — into which the smaller one is set by means of a special fastening — may be used.

The cross is adorned with richly saturated hues of jewellery enamel. Like the ringing of church bells, the precious stones shimmer in harmony with the enamel’s colours. Using the finift painting technique, the crucifixion of Christ is depicted — a rood of Him who gave His life for the sins of humankind... and rose again, granting us eternal life.

…and the Spirit of God — a dove — hovers above Him.
