Personalized Risen Christ Ebony Cross Necklace – Hand-Carved Wood Pendant
Arms Open, Not Nailed Down
Unlike the traditional crucifix, this cross shows Christ risen — arms open wide in welcome rather than bound in suffering. It's an image many find easier to hold onto in daily life: not a moment of pain, but one of triumph, peace, and open arms waiting for you.
A Cross Carved From History
The ebony used for this pendant isn't freshly cut wood. It's reclaimed from antique furniture — old jewelry boxes, vanity tables, pieces that once sat in someone's home for generations. Wood that has rested this long is naturally denser and more stable than new-cut ebony, which often stays "green" even after months of drying. What you're holding has already stood the test of time, and it will keep standing.
Made By Hand, Not By Machine Alone
Each cross begins with CNC precision, then is finished entirely by hand. Our artisans carve the fine details — the folds of the robe, the face, the outstretched arms — one by one, then hand-polish every piece to a soft, natural sheen. No two pendants are ever perfectly identical, because no two hands carve exactly the same way.
The final finish uses only pure mineral oil and beeswax — no synthetic lacquer — so the wood stays true to what it is: real ebony that only grows richer with age.
Make It Yours
On the back of the pendant, we can engrave a name, a date, or a short word that matters to you — up to 16 characters. A quiet way to carry someone close, near your heart.
