This elegant cross made of sterling silver is a unique design that I have never come across before. The swirls almost appear to make hearts throughout the cross, and at the center of the cross there is a Red Garnet. The necklace itself is braided leather, and is very comfortable.
The cross necklace, I feel represents my faith and is a symbol of protection. My curiosity got the best of me and I went looking into the significance of the Red Garnet stone. Other than being the birth stone of January, it turns out that it also holds a meaning of protection. My research concluded that even Noah on the Ark used a Lantern made of Red Garnet to see in the dark, guiding and protecting. Maybe that has something to do with red light and night vision!?
Overall the Cross is beautiful, gets me lots of compliments, and I would recommend it. Everything from Novica is hand made and holds a story, this piece traveled all the way from Indonesia. Hand made items may very slightly from item to item, and this should be taken into consideration. I have attached video of my piece so that you get a better idea of what you actually get.

About our Artist: Kenari was born in 1979 in Celuk, a village famous for its gold and silversmiths. All of her family members work in silver. From the time she was very young, Kenari started learning the process of crafting silver jewelry such as rings, necklaces, bracelets and much more. Her days were filled by assisting her uncle in his silver workshop. In 2003, Kenari married an artist from Gianyar. Balinese women who marry live with the husband's family and so did she. Even after moving away from the silverwork environment, Kenari was still obsessed with crafting jewelry. Fortunately, her husband gives her great support. While working in an art shop, Kenari is active in designing silver jewelry. She is constantly busy developing new designs.
