Classic Cross Necklace on Adjustable Leather Cord

FORGED BY FIRE is a family business founded by husband-and-wife makers Tim and Melanie Clark in Greenville, South Carolina. Their jewelry uses recognizable symbols to honor personal stories and offer encouragement. They create pieces around faith, dignity and the value of giving someone a meaningful reminder that they are loved.

The Classic Cross centers a familiar Christian symbol in a straightforward design. The maker connects the cross with forgiveness, mercy and grace. Its clean outline lets the material and antique finish carry the visual detail, making it easy to compare with more ornate or textured cross styles. Choose a pendant size and a supporting cord or chain configuration that suit how the recipient usually wears jewelry.

• Traditional cross design representing faith, mercy and grace
• Pendant metal requires clarification because the supplier text contains conflicting statements.
• Handcrafted design identified by the maker as made in Greenville, South Carolina.
• Gift packaging is described as included by the supplier.

• Medium cross: 1 inch × 3/4 inch; 2 mm thick.
• Large cross: 1 1/4 inches × 1 inch; 3 mm thick.

• Adjustable necklace length: 18–34 inches.
• Sold as one necklace in the selected configuration.

The supplier title and primary specification identify sterling silver, but another detail says Solid Bronze. Confirm pendant metal before activation. The current title avoids treating either conflicting metal statement as verified.

The maker describes casting, oxidizing and polishing its emblems to create an antique appearance. Natural patina changes the look of bronze and silver over time. A darker finish in recessed areas is part of the intended character; it does not by itself identify a different metal. This listing makes no hypoallergenic, nickel-free or waterproof claim.

Keep the piece away from prolonged water exposure, swimming, showers and household chemicals. Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before putting on the jewelry. Follow the maker’s included care card and use a polishing method suitable for the confirmed metal; an aggressive polish can change the dark detailing that gives the pendant its antique appearance.

Keep the leather cord dry and inspect its knots before wearing. Adjust it gently rather than pulling on the pendant. Store the necklace where the cord can rest without a sharp fold or heavy objects pressing on it.

For general background, see the Gemological Institute of America’s jewelry care guidance. Product-specific instructions supplied with this piece take priority over general cleaning advice.

Compare the stated pendant dimensions with a ruler before choosing. Necklace length describes the cord or chain, rather than the pendant height. The same length can sit differently depending on neck size, clothing and the size of the pendant. A useful starting point for a gift is the length of a necklace the recipient already wears comfortably.

This listing uses an adjustable leather cord. Select the preferred cord color, then adjust within the stated range. Do not assume every leather design has the same maximum length: the Classic Cross range differs from the Arrow and Gothic Cross designs.
