A Two-Tone Pectoral Cross with Crown of Thorns Design and Blue Stone
The 24k Gold and Silver Plated Pectoral Cross by Koley's Inc. is a striking episcopal cross that combines two precious finishes in a single, unified design. Measuring 2-3/8" x 3-5/8", this pectoral cross features a 24k gold plated body with a silver plated crown of thorns winding across all four arms, creating a vivid two-tone contrast that draws the eye to the Passion symbolism at the heart of the cross. A deep blue cabochon stone is set at the center, adding a jewel-like accent that completes the design.
The crown of thorns is one of the most powerful symbols of Christ's Passion and sacrifice, making this cross a deeply meaningful choice for a bishop who wishes to carry that symbol of redemptive suffering in his ministry. The cross is presented with a 36" rhodium plated chain, the traditional length for a pectoral cross worn over episcopal vestments.
