This solid sterling silver crucifix is an unusual, scultural piece. It is one and a half inches long, and half an inch wide. (3.8 cm long and 1.27 cm wide.) As Jesus bows his head in death, new life springs forth, symbolized by leaves branching out, combining the concept of a crucifix with a tree of life.
I began this piece with many sketches and drawings, then carved it in jewelers wax. I sent the finished wax model to a silver caster, who reproduced my design in silver. I oxidize the silver pieces and sensitively hand finish them, so the design shows up beautifully.

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.
