Silent Night Star Cross Citrine & Diamond Christian Cross Necklace

The Color of Stars

I spent several hours one cool October evening out on a cliff by the sea. I had vortex binoculars and was waiting for moonrise to see one of the great eclipses of the moon in my lifetime. While waiting for moonrise, I watched stars and learned something I never knew… some stars twinkle in colors other than white. I saw blues and greens, yellows and oranges, and yes, I saw red stars twinkling. What I did not see were grape, purple, lavender, or orchid stars. I looked. It was beautiful, and yes, the moon came up. That was pretty good too.

The Silent Night Cross
& the Sunday Morning Train

The 4:10 train first arrives in a dream. Some nights, depending on the wind and its direction, I can hear steel on steel and the clickity-clack of tracks. Always, I can hear the whistle. The whistle fills the valley. A whistle at every train road crossing. The whistle comes in the open window, fills the room, touches everything, crowds into a dream, crowds close enough I wake to wonder where I am. A whistle loud enough to touch every tree, every leaf of every tree in the valley. Shrill, sharp, piercing – it strikes every leaf, top and bottom, rattling the molecules inside and on some microscopic level, the leaf trembles. The sound no more settles then the train is approaching another crossing and the sound, the whistle, travels out touching everything again in the valley.

Church

Later, 8AM church bells ring from the churches in the valley, calling everyone to worship. The faithful will dress, Crosses adorned, then they walk to church – some with bibles in hand. They will stand, sing, sit, and kneel. As they lean forward they can feel the cross swing inches from their heart.

Silent Night Cross,
There is What Can Be Seen…

And then there is all that can’t be seen. What we can see is good, solid, wholesome, pure, true. The unseen…the mystery…the power, the force, the light and life. The unseen is felt, it echoes within, it tells stories. It tells stories about us and people we know, it speaks of heaven and as it does, the mystery deepens.

The cross is earthly, the gold is from the earth’s rivers and streams running fast. The diamonds are of the earth too – deep, deep, hundreds of feet down, frozen in the neck of ancient volcanoes. A spiritual treasure from the jewelers art, gold found, gems cut – it’s like magic.

Silent Night Star Cross

Two thousand years ago, a very long time ago. A star. A star in the night sky. A point of light moving across the dark, through the velvet night sky. A light seen by millions around the world. A light of wonder so precise, so brilliant. It has touched and moved half a world of humanity.

Christian Cross

With a name of Cross, “Cross Jewelers” – you wouldn’t think we would be surprised when we discovered the most searched for item on our website were Christian crosses. And yes, while we have some, we could – we should have more. The Christian crosses we do have, have been carefully considered and are extra special because our name is Cross. This is a very fine, really precious, petite Christian cross. All four arms of the cross come to a perfect point. In the center is an oval citrine with four high-white brilliant diamonds. The cross is 14K yellow gold on an 18” 14K yellow gold chain. Size is petite – north to south points fit on an American nickel perfectly – which is 18mm in diameter.

The Silent Night Christian Cross is appropriate for a teen, a young woman, or a woman who would like a light touch of Christianity – nothing too big or too showy. Its preciseness and precision makes the point beautifully.
