Gothic Cross Necklace in Sterling Silver on 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 Gothic Cross has decorative ends and an open center that distinguish it from a straight, solid cross. Its styling draws on the visual language of traditional Christian art and architecture. The maker presents it as an emblem of conviction held with courage and love. The leather cord gives this ornate pendant a more relaxed presentation while allowing the length to be adjusted.

• Ornate Gothic cross with open center and decorative ends
• A solid sterling silver pendant rather than a plated pendant.
• Handcrafted design identified by the maker as made in Greenville, South Carolina.
• Gift packaging is described as included by the supplier.

• Cross: 1 1/4 inches × 1 inch; 2 mm thick.
• Cord: 2 mm leather; adjustable up to 36 inches.
• Cord colors in the imported options: dark brown, red brown or black.
• Sold as one necklace in the selected configuration.

The pendant is described by the maker as solid sterling silver. The supporting cord is leather, with colors selected separately from the pendant.

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.
