Why are there three bars on the Byzantine Cross?

The top bar is the title-board, which was inscribed: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.

The middle bar is that on which Jesus' hands were nailed. .

The bottom bar is the footrest. It is slanted, with the right side of Jesus pointing upward.  This is said to represent the two thieves.  The thief on Jesus' right went up to heaven and the thief on the left went the other way.

Will the silver jewelry tarnish?

Yes..... There are some additives which we could use to prevent tarnish, but that would prevent us from putting on the dark background.  The dark background and the shiny foreground give the jewelry a three dimensional look.

How do I clean my jewelry?

Do not use tarnish removers on our silver.  Tarnish remover will take off the antiqued background.  It is best to use a silver polishing cloth.  If you don't have a silver polishing cloth, you can get by with a  cotton cloth and some baking soda.  Rub the surface until the shine returns.

Is the jewelry available in gold?

Most of the jewelry we make is available in gold.  Just be aware that many of our designs rely on  the contrast  created by the dark background and the shiny white surface.  Gold will not take the blackening background as well as silver.

Do the pendants come with a chain?

  We do not include chains with our pendants.  Lengths and styles of chains are a matter of differing tastes.  We do not manufacture chains, which means we would have to purchase the chains.  The chain cost would unnecessarily increase the price of the jewelry we sell.  If you already have a chain, there is no reason for the added expense.  Possibly, in the future, we will make chains available for sale.  There are a few styles which we recommend for their strength.                                                Back to Top
