This Russian cross with trefoil-shaped tips is an excellent choice for those looking for a classic body cross necklace. Applied over rose gold by laser cutwork technique delicate symbols and inscriptions in Church Slavonic language praising the Christ and Christianity: the acronym IHЦI (INRI) represents the inscription "Іисус Назарянинъ, Царь Іудейскій" (Latin: "Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum", English: 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews') placed atop the cross as ordered by Pontius Pilate, Stylized Skull at the base of the Cross represents the ashes of Adam, whose sins were washed away with blood of Christ on Golgotha, and NИКА (signifies Christ's triumph over death and purgatory). The reverse of the cross features inscription 'Спаси и сохрани' ('Protect and save me, oh my God') typical for Russian Orthodox crosses. This cross may be worn by a woman as well as by a man.
