Orthodox Pectoral Cross with Crucifix Icon – Silver Finish with Blue & Purple Accents
This beautifully detailed Orthodox pectoral cross features a refined silver finish accented with rich blue enamel and vibrant blue and purple stones. At the center is a traditional enamel depiction of the Crucified Christ, set against a deep blue background that symbolizes the heavens and divine glory. The “INRI” inscription appears above the figure, completing the classic crucifix representation.
Intricate filigree work frames the cross, highlighting the craftsmanship and Byzantine-inspired design. The crowned top, adorned with coordinating stones and finished with a cross finial, signifies Christ’s eternal kingship. Blue and purple accent stones throughout the arms and border add depth, brilliance, and liturgical richness to the piece.
A coordinating blue stone drop at the base provides balance and elegance, making this cross especially suited for clergy wear and solemn feast days.

This is the Epitheos Cross, worn by bishops and elder priests who have been honored with the title of Protopresbyter or Archimandrite. Upon wearing the cross, the clergy proclaim the sacred words:
"Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me, both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen."
A piece of profound spiritual and artistic significance, crafted with care in our selected Greek workshop.
