About this piece
This ornate Russian Orthodox crucifix in solid 925 sterling silver carries the marks of careful handling and age. The pendant measures 3 cm in length including the bail, and presents a deeply sculpted figure of Christ set within a broad, cross-shaped frame ornamented with beaded borders and elegant floral relief. The silverwork demonstrates the jeweller’s skill in layering and modelling—notice the dimensional quality of the corpus and the careful detailing of the facial features and drapery.
The piece bears the hallmark of Soviet-era craftsmanship, likely from the mid-twentieth century when such devotional jewellery was made despite state restrictions. The aged patina and well-defined detail suggest the cross has been worn and treasured over decades. The silver shows a soft grey-white finish consistent with genuine sterling, undimmed by aggressive polishing. A simple wire bail allows easy attachment to a chain or cord. This is jewellery for quiet devotion—a piece that speaks to Russian Orthodox tradition and the enduring faith of those who kept such symbols close.
