Nephrite Jade Cross Pendant
A symbol both ancient and enduring, this hand-carved nephrite jade cross carries a story that spans cultures, continents, and centuries. Unlike the crucifix, which depicts the Christian figure of Christ, this simple cross form is a universal emblem—of faith, protection, the meeting of worlds, and the journey of the soul.
Sourced from the nephrite jade fields of British Columbia, this piece speaks to both Earth’s geological memory and the human longing for meaning. The stone itself—formed under immense pressure over millions of years—has been prized tools, weapons, adornment, and ceremony. Known for its toughness and ethereal sheen, Jade is a stone of quiet resilience and deep connection.
The cross shape predates Christianity, appearing in ancient Mesopotamian, Celtic, and Egyptian cultures. It has long represented the four cardinal directions, the union of heaven and earth, and the balance between spirit and matter. In Christian tradition, the cross later became the central symbol of hope, redemption, and divine love.
Carved with care and intention, this pendant is unadorned, allowing the natural beauty of the jade to speak for itself. This piece displays subtle variations in colour—ranging from deep forest green to mossy undertones. The touch of jade against the skin is cooling and grounding, a quiet reminder of one's path and presence.
Whether worn as a spiritual talisman, cultural tribute, or heirloom piece, this jade cross invites contemplation and courage. It bridges past and present, the earthly and the sacred, grounding you in in a special way.
