St Thomas Cross Pendant Sterling Silver | Religious Jewelry | Made in USA

The St. Thomas Cross -- a distinctive form from the ancient Christian community of India -- cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This flat pendant weighs 1.6 grams and measures 0.94" x 1".

Each cross is created through lost-wax casting and hand-finished to a polished surface. The sterling silver alloy uses copper rather than nickel in the 7.5% non-silver portion, making it suitable for those with nickel sensitivity -- estimated at 10-20% of the population.

The St. Thomas Cross, also known as the Nasrani Cross, traces its origins to the Christian community established in Kerala, India, by the Apostle Thomas in 52 AD. Its distinctive form -- often shown with a dove or lotus at the base -- reflects the synthesis of Christian faith with Indian artistic traditions.

Perfect for Indian Christians, Nasrani community members, or anyone interested in the global diversity of Christian symbols. Comes with a sterling silver jump ring for wearing on a chain or bracelet.
