2" Joan of Arc Cross - Antique Model CR476

2" Joan of Arc Cross (50.8 mm) – Antique Replica Pectoral Cross in Sterling Silver or Gold Bronze

This Joan of Arc Cross measures approximately 2 inches (50.8 mm) in height and is an exact replica of an antique or vintage piece, masterfully recreated in sterling silver or gold bronze. Solidly constructed, this cross is noticeably thick and heavy, with the substantial presence of a true pectoral cross designed to be worn over the heart.

Originally created as a decorative devotional object, possibly as a small plaque or ceremonial emblem honoring Saint Joan of Arc, this piece has been adapted into jewelry by the addition of a suspension bale. It now serves beautifully as a powerful pendant or pectoral cross while retaining the strength and sacred symbolism of its original form.

The piece is a Latin Cross, with broad, squared arms richly adorned with raised fleur-de-lis motifs, the traditional emblem of France and purity, closely associated with Joan of Arc. A three-dimensional sculpted branch with leaves winds diagonally across the cross, supporting a detailed sword and banner, representing Joan’s divine mission and leadership. Above the cross, a finely rendered helmet symbolizes her holy calling as the Maid of Orléans, guided by visions and divine purpose.

The design reflects the spirit of the early 20th-century Arts and Crafts Movement, where devotion to craftsmanship, historical symbolism, and naturalistic forms combined to create objects of enduring spiritual power.

This Joan of Arc Pectoral Cross is ideal for wearing as a significant devotional pendant, integrating into ceremonial attire, or preserving as a symbol of courage, purity, faith, and sacred mission.

Its French Arts and Crafts pectoral cross design celebrates the heroic and sanctified life of Saint Joan of Arc with bold artistry and profound spiritual meaning.
