VINTAGE EURO CRUCIFIX BRONZITE/PYRITE FAITH NECKLACE 5.22.25.6

THIS NECKLACE IS 21.75” LONG

This necklace is a daily affirmation of our faith and our relationship with God.

Each piece starts with something old—a broken rosary, a timeworn European cross, a fragment of devotion from another era. I breathe new life into these sacred relics, crafting one-of-a-kind Upscaled Faith Necklaces that honor the past while becoming something timeless. A second, third—maybe even a seventh life—meant to be worn, carried, and cherished by its next keeper. It’s not about perfection. It’s about history, spirit, and the hands that hold it next. These aren’t just accessories. They’re personal altars. Reminders. Testaments. Each one is hand-built with intention, made with semi precious gemstones and woods: onyx, tiger eye, pyrite, rosewood, ebony wood, and carved olive wood.

Bronzite – Bronzite is a grounding stone often associated with resilience, protection, and quiet strength. Thought to reflect negativity back to its source, it serves as a mirror—encouraging clarity and intention in how we respond to challenge. Bronzite supports decisive action and follow-through, especially in times of doubt or hesitation. With its warm, metallic sheen and cosmic origins—found in both Earth and meteorites—it carries the weight of both grounding presence and expansive perspective.

Pyrite – Pyrite is a stone of presence and protection, long associated with strength, clarity, and resilience under pressure. Often called “Fool’s Gold,” its sharp, metallic luster belies a deeper purpose—it’s believed to act as a barrier against negativity, both external and internal. Pyrite supports clear thinking, confident action, and a strong sense of personal boundaries. It encourages a balanced alignment of physical health, mental focus, and emotional stability—especially in environments that demand grit and self-reliance.

Clasp is Real Silver. Crucifix is from Europe. Most likely Germany or France.
