Every metal element… the cross, the centerpiece, and the decorative copper bead spacers… all hand fabricated, no castings here. That’s “handmade” in the true jewelry making sense, as defined by the FTC’s Jewelry Guides: shaped, formed, and finished by hand from raw material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBrass and copper stock, riveted together, form the simple but deeply symbolic budded cross, with the bail as the only feature silver soldered. The centerpiece follows the same brass and copper build, with a copper fleur de lis mounted on each side.

I used a combination of black Aramid (Kevlar) cord and brown micro cord, each strand run as a single continuous length with no splicing. Theoretically, this combo gives it a tensile strength rating of 420 lbs, so this isn’t just decorative, it’s built to last.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBetween each bead, hand tied barrel knots keep them from knocking together and give your fingers a nice, defined space to move through while praying.
