This Coptic Cross design was made by the Christian community of Ethiopia. Crosses are commonly worn by Ethiopians as a sign of one's faith. Pendants such as these are generally worn in necklace form. You can either run a chain through it, or incorporate it into a more intricate jewelry design! Each pendant measures approximately 45 x 85mm, with a hole size of approximately 3-4mm. Beautiful pendant at a great price!
I had searched quite a few websites looking for large Ethiopian crosses to make several necklaces, and to redo one I'd made some twenty years ago. Prices were either very high, or ridiculous- until I found what I needed on the Bead Chest website. Their large Ethiopian crosses had the perfect mix of simple beauty and craftsmanship. Very well-made, and expressive of an ancient faith. And they were reasonably priced. They arrived very quickly, and were packed very securely. I would most definitely purchase from Bead Chest again. Very reliable and they know their items back-story perfectly. An established, well run source for "ethnic" beads and jewelry.

Ethiopian Coptic Cross
The cross is beautiful, and for me, it has a sense of spiritual connection that is unexplainable. That is why I give it (5) stars

Lovely necklace
This arrived quickly and is almost exactly the same as picture - slight difference. But I'm not displeased - It's a lovely unique piece of jewellery.

Coptic Cross
Beautiful design, nice quality, great price. I purchased one of these at a museum when I went to see "Lucy" - who is from Ethiopia. Some how it got lost and I thought I'd never find it again. I was so happy to see this beautiful cross again!!!
