Silver Ethiopian Coptic Cross Necklace

Ethiopian Coptic Cross pendant measuring 24x30mm on a 16 inch Brown Greek Leather Cord finished with a sterling silver clasp. (You can order a 2 inch sterling extender if you need the greek cord to be longer.)

This Coptic cross is a design favored by the Gurage people of Ethiopia.
For over 1600 years Christian Ethiopians have worn neck crosses as a proud confession of their faith. Ethiopian crosses are either cast by the lost wax method or cut from Maria Theresa dollars.

The crosses are usually named after the towns or provinces of the highlands of Ethiopia - and each has their own design.
