Sterling Silver Cross Pendant with Rutilated Quartz

These crosses are not about any religious beliefs. They belong to a different kind of faith, the quiet belief we carry in ourselves, in others, and in the secret languages of symbols. The cross here is an ancient sign, stripped of doctrine and worn instead as a piece of iconography, a shorthand for burden and resilience, for brightness and humour in heavy times.

Cast from an original Georgian-era master pattern, these silver crosses carry fragments of history in every curve and corner. Each one has been reworked and reimagined in wax, with new details, coloured gemstones and a little sense of humour..

What is Rutilated Quartz? Glad you asked! Here’s a short description of one of my favourite stones and nature’s wonders:

Rutilated quartz is a type of quartz crystal that contains needle-like strands of the mineral rutile. These inclusions can be golden, silver, red, or black, and they are what give the stone its unique appearance.Unlike most gemstones, Rutilated Quartz is valued specifically for these inclusions, which are formed from titanium dioxide and often appear in star-like patterns or dense bundles.
