This handcrafted gemstone cross necklace from World Peace Jewelry features an absolutely wonderful hand cut Sodalite cross pendant in deep rich blue. This is a cross pendant I imported directly from China this year. Beautiful cross shape and color, plus very chunky in scale and size. There's a bit of a bevel to the cut which makes the cross a bit puffy. Please note that this pendant is hand cut gemtone, not machine cut, so it's possible to see small saw marks when looking extremely closely. In my opinion, that makes it more attractive and I prefer to deal with a craftsperson, rather than a large impersonal company.
For this necklace I've hand wire wrapped more Sodalite in rounds beads with some super chunky faceted ovals, to accent the cross pendant. Gorgeous bands of navy, royal blue and creamy white in the Sardonyx beads. This necklace has a very dramatic color combination and is extra long. Natural patina brass is warm and adds to the beauty of this jewelry piece. Very bold statement jewelry. You will definitely be noticed when wearing this necklace.
Sodalite symbolizes self confidence and loyalty. It promotes spiritual harmony and is a source of artisitc inspiration. Learn more about the metaphysical, healing properties of gemstones and symbols in World Peace Jewelry's Gemstone Guides...

The cross is used not just for ornamentation, but also religious significance. The cross is a sign of consecration. For Christians it symbolizes God's act of love and atonement in Christ's sacrifice and Jesus' victory over sin and death. Blue symbolizes pure love, wisdom and courage. |
