The Orthodox 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.

The jewelry collection "Vladimir Mikhailov" is made in precious metals, characterized by a noble, restrained color sound – platinum, white and green gold. At the same time, the main material of the collection is green gold, a type of gold alloy of 585 samples, characterized by its soft color shade and high content of precious metals. This alloy is known primarily as the most stable natural compound of native gold and silver. It is silver that gives the alloy a soft olive hue, muffling the yellow tones of gold and the red sound of copper.
