Open Work Sterling Cross necklace

An openwork sterling cross suspended on a dark waxed leather cord, timeworn, and quietly striking.

With its pierced detailing and softened patina, this piece feels like something recovered rather than forged. The negative space becomes part of the design, giving the form lightness, depth, and movement.

Rooted in historical symbolism but open to interpretation, the cross appears here as an emblem of balance, endurance, and personal meaning. It’s meant to be worn intuitively—layered or alone, dressed up or stripped back.

Will layer well short or long, waxed linen cord with a slip knot closure, will extend to 20", custom lengths available. Dark brown or black linen cord. 

Cross is .5" x 1"
