Description from the seller

Fire Ruby and Gold Obsidian - Necklace - Spark of Holy Rus’ - Orthodox Cross - Slavic religious heritage.

This Orthodox necklace is distinguished by a unique composition of natural stones, combining the deep brilliance of ruby with the mysterious shine of golden obsidian.
It is composed of 85 round, finely faceted beads, whose shades range from blood red to deep black and golden reflections, creating a powerful balance between warmth, strength, and light.

In the center of the necklace is an ornate cross bearing a detailed crucifix depicting Jesus Christ. The cross features relief decorations and is stamped with Russian characters, evoking the iconographic tradition of the Orthodox Church. The overall design gives this piece a character that is both spiritual, artistic, and patrimonial.

In Orthodox religion, the cross is not only a symbol of sacrifice: it also represents victory over death, the light of Christ, and the door to Salvation.
The crucifix with the body of Christ reminds us of His sacrificial love, but also of His living presence at the heart of the believer.
Russian inscriptions (often sacred abbreviations like IC XC NI KA, 'Jesus Christ Conquers') highlight the liturgical and protective aspect of the cross.
In the Orthodox tradition, wearing a blessed or sacred art-inspired cross is seen as a sign of protection and a constant reminder of faith.

This necklace thus embodies this symbolism: a spiritual object, a protector, but also a religious work of art inspired by Orthodox canons.

Rubies and golden obsidian symbolize strength, protection, and divine light.
The ruby evokes the blood of Christ and spiritual courage.
Golden obsidian brings inner clarity and grounding, reinforcing the Orthodox faith.
