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.

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

Larger than anticipated but very cool. Too big for a necklace - hoping to find a smaller one. Kept it snyway.
