light jade

Hand-carved of verde manzano, or "apple green" Guatemalan jade, a striking paté cross with congruent fanning limbs forms the pendant of this necklace. Pendants like these were traditionally worn as a symbol of devotion by Christian European warriors known as Templars. Designed by Zandra Lorena Sajbin, the religious pendant centers an adjustable length of black cotton cord.
