Carry a meaningful symbol of Christian faith with this Jerusalem Cross Pendant Necklace, handcrafted from reclaimed ebony wood.

With its bold relief carving, substantial profile, and understated dark finish, this wooden cross necklace is designed for those who appreciate faith-inspired jewelry, timeless symbolism, and traditional craftsmanship.
The Symbolism of the Jerusalem Cross
The Jerusalem Cross features one large central cross accompanied by four smaller crosses, creating a distinctive design with a long history in Christian tradition.
The pendant's raised cross design is framed by a detailed braided pattern, while the small shield at the top adds another medieval-inspired element. Together, these details create a striking piece that reflects faith, heritage, and devotion.
Handcrafted from Reclaimed Ebony Wood
This pendant is made from reclaimed ebony wood salvaged from older, finely crafted furniture and wooden objects, including vintage jewelry boxes and dressing tables.
Instead of using recently cut wood that has been dried for only a short period, we give new life to mature timber that has aged over many years. Its naturally dense character makes it well suited to detailed carving and fine decorative work.
Ebony is a natural material, so its color and grain can vary from one piece to another. Some pieces may appear nearly black, while others reveal subtle brown tones and natural grain patterns. These variations make every pendant unique.
Detailed Carving and Natural Finish
Each pendant is crafted through a combination of modern precision and hands-on woodworking:
-
CNC carving: Creates the main cross design and intricate relief details.
-
Hand carving and detailing: Refines the braided border, smaller crosses, and decorative elements.
-
Hand sanding and polishing: Smooths the surface and brings out the wood's natural character.
-
Natural protective finish: Finished with purified mineral oil and natural beeswax for a smooth feel and subtle sheen.
The result is a distinctive wooden pendant with crisp raised details and the individual character of reclaimed ebony.
