dainty sterling silver cross necklace with tiny flower and leaves
dainty sterling silver cross necklace with tiny flower and leaves
This sweet sterling silver cross is just under an inch long, including the bail. It has exquisite hand carved details of a tiny flower and leaves with a subtle wood grain texture. It hangs on a fine but strong flat cable chain that sparkles in light. Please choose the length of chain you would like when checking out.
I sketched this original design onto graph paper, transferred the image to jewelers wax, then spent many painstaking hours carving and refining the design. When the design was carved to my satisfaction, I sent it to a caster who made copies of my design in sterling silver. I darken and polish each piece myself so the tiny details can be clearly seen.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
This necklace is solid sterling silver, which will tarnish if not regularly cared for. To prevent tarnish, don't let it get sweaty or oily and don't swim in it or wear it in the shower. Clean it with dish soap as needed. When it is clean and dry, rub it gently with the polishing cloth I have enclosed.
If it does tarnish, cleaning it and rubbing it with the cloth will restore its brightness. If it is still darker than you like, especially the chain, I have found that rubbing it gently with a paste of baking soda restores the sparkle. After cleaning it that way, rinse well, dry it well, and give it a final rub with the polishing cloth.
When it is not being worn, storing it out of light in an air tight plastic bag, such as a Zip-loc will help keep it bright. I have included a small bag that you may use.
