Hammered Shield with Cross Sterling Silver, Crusades Shield with Cross, Religious Jewelry, Christian Jewelry

Hammered Shield with Cross charm, cast in solid .925 sterling silver and proudly Made in USA.

The lost-wax casting process dates back 6,500 years to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome — the same technique used to create this charm. After the wax is burned out at 1,350 degrees, molten sterling silver fills the mold under centrifugal force.

This shield-and-cross design recalls the heraldic emblems carried by medieval crusaders — a symbol of faith under arms. The hammered texture gives the silver an aged, battle-worn quality. Measuring 7/8" x 5/8" and weighing 3.3 grams, it has substantial presence on a bracelet or chain.

Makes a meaningful gift for a confirmation, baptism, first communion, or any expression of faith. Wear it on a charm bracelet, hang it from a necklace chain, or buy two and pair with ear wires for earrings. Ships within one business day with a sterling silver jump ring attached and ready to use.
