1 1/2" Christian Cross Pendant Antique Vintage Model CR714

Cross, 9 Circles, Antiquity – 1 1/2" (38mm)

This Cross, 9 Circles, Antiquity measures 1 1/2 inches (approximately 38mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, available in sterling silver and gold bronze.

The cross is a compact, rounded design, with strong central lines forming a cross axis from which radiate nine circular motifs. Each arm of the Cross, 9 Circles, Antiquity terminates in two rounded protrusions, while the center features a prominent circular boss, creating a rhythmic, organic pattern of sacred geometry.

The central vertical and horizontal bars of the cross pendant are slightly raised, emphasizing the powerful form of the cross and blending the surrounding circles into a unified, balanced composition. The surface is textured and intentionally irregular, preserving the ancient hand-wrought character that evokes early Christian craftsmanship.

The style of this antique cross reflects primitive Christian art, with its strong abstraction, tactile symbolism, and focus on sacred forms rather than ornate decoration. Its design is reminiscent of crosses found in early African and Middle Eastern Christian communities.

The nine circles hold profound symbolic significance. They represent the Nine Orders of Angels in Christian angelology—Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels—invoking heavenly protection and spiritual guidance. The number nine also signifies spiritual completeness and cosmic order, symbolizing the finality of one cycle and the beginning of divine renewal. The circles themselves represent eternity, unity, and divine wholeness, anchoring the cross in a geometry of sacred meaning.

The Cross, 9 Circles, Antiquity includes an integrated bail at the top, allowing it to be worn as a pendant, added to a devotional necklace, or incorporated into artisan jewelry creations.

This cross charm serves as a powerful emblem of divine protection, spiritual unity, and sacred order. Choose sterling silver for a luminous, traditional finish or gold bronze for a warm, ancient patina that highlights the profound symbolic heritage of this timeless design.
