Necklace of Grace - Cross with a wheat ear - Burning love and the strength of commitment.

This large necklace, adorned with 59 round beads, is made of garnet, a gemstone with an intense raspberry red color, nicknamed the 'Queen of Garnets'.

It features a Latin cross, also called a Christic cross, formed by a horizontal bar and a vertical bar crossing each other. This cross is decorated with relief motifs representing wheat ears, referencing the Eucharist, the sacrament of Christ's body. The ears symbolize the eternal life offered by Jesus to his believers.
The cross is connected to the necklace by flared beads decorated with flower petal motifs, in copper and gold hues, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.

The Latin cross with wheat ears highlights both the sacrifice of Jesus (through the cross) and the gift of eternal life conveyed by the Eucharist (represented by the wheat). Together, these symbols remind us of the deep connection between Christ's suffering, hope in redemption, and the spiritual nourishment provided by the bread of heaven.

This piece is not only an object of devotion but also a work of art that illustrates the richness and depth of the Christian tradition.

In Christianity, garnet is considered a stone that illuminates the soul and guides its bearer towards the truth; it also evokes the blood of Christ and His sacrifice.
