This Zuni cross pendant is a striking fusion of symbolism and stone, crafted in gleaming sterling silver and set with multiple turquoise stones, each chosen for its vivid blue-green hue and unique matrix. Handcrafted with traditional techniques, the cross form is brought to life through intricate silverwork and the sacred presence of turquoise.
In Zuni culture, the cross is not solely a Christian symbol—it often represents the four sacred directions, the balance of life, and the unity of the physical and spiritual worlds. It acts as a compass of sorts, grounding the wearer while offering guidance and protection.
Turquoise has long been revered by the Zuni as a powerful guardian stone. Its calming energy is believed to protect the traveler, strengthen the spirit, and foster harmony between earth and sky. When set in multiples, each stone adds a layer of meaning—amplifying the stone’s strength and deepening its connection to ancestral wisdom.
With its symmetrical design and radiant presence, this pendant is both deeply symbolic and visually captivating. Wear it as a spiritual anchor, a cultural tribute, or a piece of the Southwest’s enduring beauty.
