Details

Small. Solid. Unignorable.
Cut from a single piece of 925 sterling silver, hand-finished with a distressed surface — this cross catches light differently every time. Wear it alone. Layer it. It holds its own either way.

  • Handmade 925 Sterling Silver — hallmarked, hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant
  • Distressed finish — hand-worked texture for a raw, lived-in edge
  • Glossy high-polish silver — clean contrast between smooth and textured surfaces
  • Latin cross silhouette — minimal, timeless
  • Dimensions: 2.5cm × 1cm · Weight: 1.1g · Unisex
  • Pendant only — chain sold separately

THE CROSS — Handmade 925 Sterling Silver Pendant

The story behind it

The sign that came north.

The cross reached Scandinavia before the old gods left. At Trendgården in Jutland, a 10th-century soapstone mould was found that cast Thor's hammers and crosses side by side. Around 965, King Harald Bluetooth raised a stone at Jelling saying he made the Danes Christian.

This pendant is a stylised take, not a replica: a small Latin cross in 925 sterling silver, distressed against high polish, 2.5cm tall. Chain sold separately.

A note from Grégor

To everyone who has worn our pieces:

We're closing North Hoard. Ad costs kept climbing and cheap copies are everywhere. We'd rather stop properly than cut corners.

What's left is reduced. Once a piece sells out, it won't be made again.

Built to outlast me

Wore it every day for three months straight — workouts, showers, rain, whatever. Zero tarnish, zero fading. The weight alone tells you it's real. First piece that doesn't feel like jewellery, feels like an heirloom.

James T. Verified Buyer

Heavier than it looks online

You can feel the metal the moment you pick it up. Not hollow plated junk. Dark finish holds up, engraving stays sharp. Exactly what I wanted — nothing flashy, just solid and intentional.

Oliver H. Verified Buyer

Finally found my piece

Been hunting for a ring that doesn't scream and doesn't vanish either. This lands dead center. Subtle rune detail, matte finish, sits right on the finger. Got a few comments without asking for them.

Henry W. Verified Buyer

Shipped fast, arrived clean

Ordered Monday, landed Friday. Packaging was minimal and right — raw linen, small card, no plastic. The piece itself looked better in hand than on the website. That's rare.

Thomas R. Verified Buyer

Subtle detail, serious impact

I don't do loud jewellery. This sits dark and quiet on me, and people still notice. The engraving is delicate but the weight is heavy. Fair price for the finish — most brands charge triple for less.

Edward M. Verified Buyer

Worth more than what I paid

Honestly surprised at the build quality for this bracket. Solid stainless steel, properly finished edges, no rough spots. Daily wear for six weeks now, still looks day one. Getting a second one for my brother.
