Royal Necklace - Byzantine - Cross - Heart-shaped clover - Shadow and light - Union of heaven and earth.

This necklace is made of silvery obsidian and pyrite, adorned with 61 round, faceted beads in shades of black and metallic gray, with a smooth, silky, and sparkling appearance. At its center, it reveals a large cross composed of four rounded arms in the shape of hearts.
Each end forms a heart-shaped lobe, giving the cross a soft, organic, and harmonious appearance.
The surface features a regular hammering pattern, creating an antique or handcrafted effect reminiscent of pieces inspired by Byzantine or medieval art in gold metal.
It is set with five obsidian cabochons, with one placed in the center and one at the end of each arm.

Silver obsidian symbolizes trials, introspection, and the clarity of the soul, while pyrite embodies the light of Christ, the strength of the Holy Spirit, and divine protection. Together, they form a powerful Byzantine Christian metaphor: the divine light piercing darkness, the complete protection of the faithful, and spiritual rebirth in Christ, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth and the path to salvation.

Cross - trilobed in the heart.
A large, ornamental hanging cross composed of four rounded arms in the shape of hearts.
Each end forms a heart-shaped lobe, giving the cross a soft, organic, and harmonious appearance.
The surface features a regular hammering pattern, creating an antique or handcrafted effect reminiscent of pieces inspired by Byzantine or medieval art in gold metal.
It is set with five obsidian cabochons, with one placed in the center and one at the end of each arm.
Obsidian is a shiny, smooth black stone with strong symbolism.

The set evokes a protective, luxurious, and symbolic jewel, more decorative than liturgical but influenced by Christian iconography.

Like any cross, it represents: the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, the redemption of humanity, divine protection, and the presence of Christ in the life of the faithful.
The heart-shaped ends symbolize divine love.
The choice of the heart at each end can also represent God's love shining in the four directions of the world.
Gold metal is associated with the light and glory of God — it represents celestial light, divine presence, incorruptibility, and eternity. The royalty of Christ, with its hammered decor, can symbolize the idea of sacred artisanal craftsmanship.
