From the "Land of the ARK"
This stunning example of Historic Middle Eastern Christian Art comes alive again after almost six centuries and hundreds of miles from it's birthplace.
I found this cross in a junk shop in Hood, Oregon in the Fall of 2019. The pawn shop owners had no idea of it’s age or worth … I did a bit of online research … right on the spot

encompasses five Continents.
I have added: Native American hand polished Turquoise Beads, Tibetan Hand Carved Sterling Silver Prayer and Lotus Flower Beads, Modern Austrian Crystals and Sterling Silver findings from China to make this a truly ONE OF A KIND treasure. The necklace is strung on high tinsel stainless steel wire. Sterling Silver twisted crimps are used to secure this devotional joy.
The cross is caved on both sides and is 4 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
Measuring approximately 28 inches long …
The cross in this lovely necklace falls right over the center of the breasts.

Matching earrings complete the set. Earrings fall 2 inches. Note: An extra earring, that serves as a counter weight at the necklace clasp, can be removed and used to replace a lost earring (we hope that never happens) ... but you can feel good knowing there is a extra earring in this set.
