Alexander Suvorov Cross

Jewelry, like any expensive items, requires careful handling and certain care. Special attention should be paid to the appearance of jewelry in hot and humid climates. It is also necessary to protect jewelry from getting perfumes and cosmetics on them.

From the very beginning of Christianity, the cross has become for believers not just an image of an instrument of execution, but a symbol of victory over death and hope. In the fourth century, when the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Emperor Constantine won by the power of the image of the Cross of the Lord, and the Holy Queen Elena found the Life-giving Cross in Jerusalem, the national veneration of this shrine began. Thousands of pilgrims flocked to Palestine, seeking to take with them a piece of the Golgotha Tree in order to carry it as an incessant reminder of the Savior's earthly life, His sufferings and Resurrection. Thus was born the tradition of the cross, a personal sign of belonging to Christ and a tangible testimony of faith.

Silver is one of the most ancient metals known to man. Its white luster, plasticity, and ability to take any shape have made it a favorite jeweler's material for thousands of years. Unlike gold, silver is more affordable, but it is not inferior to it in beauty and nobility. However, pure silver is too soft to create durable jewelry, so it has been used as alloys since ancient times.
