The Periwinkle cross pendant is a poetic narrative in precious metal woven from ancient mystery and atemporal beauty. It has been told by the seasoned professionals at the House of Lobortas in patterns of precious metal illuminated by the vivid colours of classic hot enamel.

At the heart of the piece blooms a periwinkle flower, radiant in enamel hues — delicate and refined, crafted down to the smallest detail. Soft shades of blue evoke clear skies and morning dew on fresh petals. Yellow and orange tones glow with the warmth of a blessed fire, infusing the cross with cheerful energy and quiet strength.

The silver canvas, where an intricate dance of patterns unfolds, is the result of painstaking craftsmanship — a testament to patience and inspiration. Each partition has been shaped by the engraver’s hand to convey the tracery’s three-dimensionality. These ornaments are not random; they are filled with meaning, symbolising a connection to nature, eternity, and the divine.

Every curl, every line, every motif is like a fragment of a mosaic — coming together to form a single, harmonious composition. One can sense here the influence of ancient Byzantine traditions, a heritage passed down through generations, preserving the secrets of artistic jewellery.

The Periwinkle cross holds the rare potential to become a protective charm – an amulet passed from hand to hand, carrying the warmth of touch and the quiet stories of many lives. It carries faith within it, while reminding us of the world’s fragile beauty and the subtlety with which life and art intertwine.
