Cross of worship "Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos"

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.

Platinum is one of the rarest and most precious metals on Earth. Its name comes from the Spanish platina, which means "little silver". Unlike gold or silver, platinum does not tarnish in the air, does not corrode in a humid environment and is not afraid of high temperatures. This gray-white metal has a unique chemical resistance, which makes it a symbol of purity and immutability.

This collection contains the main works of Vladimir Mikhailov: icons, crosses, rings and chains made of noble 950 platinum. Metal, which does not tarnish and is not afraid of time, becomes a natural frame for ancient symbols and filigree handwork. Platinum emphasizes the perfection of lines, the rigor of the ornament and the depth of the Novgorod tradition of fine plastics, where every detail has been verified for centuries.
