Pendant with Rugged Cross Design

Twig-textured arms tied at the center, as if lashed together by a patient hand.

This sterling silver pendant with a rugged cross design is from the United States, and is contemporary. Textured or rough surfaces on a silver pendant are usually made by working the metal or the casting mold, giving a deliberately weathered look. Slim cross whose bars are textured like rough bark, with a small wrapped knot at the crossing. A narrow loop sits at the top for a chain. The metal is bright silvery white with grooves picked out in grey. It is 1 inches long, 0.25 deep and 2 high.

Handmade look, with every twig accounted for.
