Vintage protective cross pendant, 925 sterling silver, ‘Save and Protect’
About this piece
A finely detailed Russian Orthodox cross cast in sterling silver, inscribed with the protective prayer “Спаси и сохрани” — “Save and Protect” — across the horizontal arm. The front face features a classical crucifix figure with radiating sunburst panels on the vertical beam, whilst the reverse displays ornamental scrollwork. The square bail is substantial and designed to accommodate a chain or cord.
The pendant shows light surface wear consistent with regular devotional or sentimental wear, with a pleasing patina that enhances its spiritual character. The hallmark confirms 925 sterling silver. A timeless piece suitable for wear beneath clothing or openly as a statement of faith, or kept as a protective talisman. A soft cloth is sufficient for gentle cleaning; avoid prolonged immersion.
