Olive Wood Sunburst Cross Pendant Necklace
Olive Wood Sunburst Cross Pendant Necklace

Let your light shine with this beautifully carved pendant necklace. Handcrafted from olive wood with silver accents, the pendant features a sunburst design with a small cross in the center and hangs from a pure silver chain. Made by artisans in West Bank, this piece is a Ten Thousand Villages Exclusive.

HANDCRAFTED IN WEST BANK

  • Materials: Olive wood, pure silver chain and clasp
  • Measures: 18"L, Pendant: 1"Diameter
  • Colors: Natural, silver
  • Notes: While pure silver is softer than sterling silver, it is still an excellent choice for jewelry. Due to its softness, it has a beautiful, delicate drape and it tarnishes at a much slower rate than sterling silver. Pure silver is also a great choice for those with sensitive skin; because it is not an alloy it is hypoallergenic.
