Wowww!!! Substantial in beauty and in size, behold this vintage silver Jerusalem Cross with five vibrant, faceted deep red garnet gemstones on this thick, 24-inch, sterling silver, faceted disco-ball style bead balls in curb chain Italian necklace! The Jerusalem Cross, also called the Crusaders Cross, is a heraldic Christian symbol consisting of a large cross potent surrounded by four smaller plain crosses, one in each quadrant. The symbolism of the five-fold cross is variously given as the Five Wounds of Christ, Jesus Christ and the four corners of the world to which the Gospel is intended to be shared, or the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John with Christ in the center. Each of the five garnets is surrounded by a very beautifully detailed, filigree, beaded cannetille, scroll design.

This gorgeous, gorgeous pendant dangles on an equally gorgeous and impressive Italian necklace by world renowned jewelry designer, Italia Crea known as “the Tiffany & Co. of Europe.” The faceted and gleaming, mirror-cut bead balls at the heart of the twisted curb chain links catch the light from every direction with each movement drawing in the eye. Both the pendant and the necklace have a very rich, undisturbed, natural patina that enhances the ensemble tremendously. Both show minor signs of wear and aging consistent with age which includes a few scratches on the garnet gemstones that are almost undetectable to a casual observer, but you may want to have it addressed by a reputable jeweler of your choosing. This elegant and sophisticated, religious work of art pendant was handcrafted in Israel, this stunning necklace was made in Italy, and the pair will be a conversation starter when worn!
