Budded Cross Necklace · Piece BH 13390
Holy LandDetails
Between the cord and the cross sits one small bead, a simple touch that distinguishes this necklace from its plainer cousins. The cross itself is the budded style, olive wood arms tipped with three rounded lobes and a gleam of mother of pearl set at the center.
Bethlehem carvers still work this design the old way, by eye and by hand, so the bead, the grain, and the shell line up a little differently on every piece. Crosses like these travel home in pilgrims' pockets every season; for those who have not yet made the journey, it is a pilgrimage keepsake that comes to you instead.

Materials + Care
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.
