Russian Orthodox Cross Certified 585 (14kt) Rose Gold

Bright laser cutwork lines contrast with rich matte 585 rose gold, modernizing the vintage vibe of this Russian orthodox body cross. The cross is decorated with inscriptions in Church Slavonic 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, IC XC ('Іисусъ Христосъ' - Jesus Christ), NИКА signifies Christ's triumph over death and purgatory), and "Спаси и Сохрани" (Russian for "Protect and save me, oh my God") on the reverse. This cross will make a statement of faith for a man or for a woman.
