Mother of Pearl Cross Necklace (Coptic Ankh) · Piece BH 13330
Holy LandLong before the crucifix became the universal sign of Christianity, early Egyptian Christians adopted the ankh, an ancient looped cross, as their emblem of life in Christ. This necklace revives that Coptic symbol in Bethlehem olive wood, its center brightened with an inlay of genuine mother of pearl that shimmers softly against the warm grain.
Carved and polished by hand near the Church of the Nativity, each pendant carries its own pattern of grain and shell, so yours will match no other. It is a thoughtful pilgrimage keepsake and a conversation starter, a small piece of the early Church's story you can wear every day.
Free US shipping on orders over $75. Hand crafted in Bethlehem by the Bannoura family. Trusted by Catholic homes across America since 2000.
Size: pendant about 1 inch tall.
Each piece is hand carved from genuine Holy Land olive wood, prized for its warm tone and one of a kind grain. Because olive wood is a living natural material, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and keep your piece away from direct sunlight, water, and heat so its natural beauty lasts for generations.
