In Ancient Roman times, the “cross” was
associated with shame and public ridicule. Common criminals were
crucified as a form of punishment. But then, with the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ and his resurrection, the effect on his millions of
followers led to a dramatic reversal of the symbolism of the cross.
The “cross” became a symbol of
God's Love. Today, crosses are worn as a pendants by millions of men
and women. Among the cross pendants that are so popular among
believers are those created by talented Native American jewelry
artist. Their works range from simple silver cruciforms to joyful
products featuring semi-precious gemstones and intricate and colorful
shell overlay.
Native American cross pendants are
widely available and very affordable. Many Native American art
galleries offer them in outlets across the Southwestern United
States, starting as low as $35.. As with almost everything else as
well, Navajo, Zuni and Kewa Indian cross pendants are offered
worldwide through online galleries, such as
Native-American-jewelry.org, that work directly with the artists who
create them.
