Silver-Plated Resurrection Cross Bracelet on Black Stretch Cord 6-inch

An empty cross, a sign of Easter hope, worn sideways at your wrist on a double-black stretch cord. This silver-plated Resurrection cross bracelet is made in Spain in the tradition of Spanish devotional jewelry, reminding you that death did not have the last word on Easter, or on any day of the year. About the Design The cross has a softly hammered surface and a center bound with wrapped bands, a detail that recalls the linen cloths left behind in the empty tomb. It is finished with a 10-micron silver plating, a generous layer for a plated piece, in bright silver with darkened recesses that bring out the depth of the wrapping. A small loop at each end of the cross holds a double black stretch cord that slips easily over the hand, finished with polished silver-plated beads. About the Devotion The Resurrection is the heart of the Christian faith. As Saint Paul wrote, "If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, your faith" (1 Corinthians 15:14). Christ, who died for us on the Cross, rose on the third day and lives. His Passion, death, and Resurrection form one Paschal Mystery, so the Cross is not a sign of defeat but the very instrument of His victory. The Church celebrates this mystery every Sunday and above all in the fifty days of the Easter season, from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. Worn with faith, this cross is a reminder to live as people of the Resurrection, with hope in every trial.

A meaningful gift for Easter, for adults entering the Church at the Easter Vigil, for Confirmation, Mother's Day, or anyone who needs a reminder of hope. Care Instructions Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising, since water and sweat wear down plating and weaken the stretch cord. Keep perfume, lotion, and cleaning products away from the cross. Silver naturally darkens over time, so store the bracelet in its gift box, away from air and humidity. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid silver dips, which can remove the darkened detail in the wrapping. Avoid overstretching the cord. Frequently Asked Questions What does a cross without the figure of Christ mean for Catholics? Catholics have always honored the Cross, both with and without the figure of Christ. The crucifix keeps before our eyes the love of Christ who gave His life for us, and the Church places it near the altar at every Mass. A cross without the figure is also a traditional sign of His victory, celebrated each year on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14. Because Christ's Passion, death, and Resurrection form one Paschal Mystery, this cross points to Easter joy without separating it from Good Friday. Can I wear it outside of Easter? Yes. I celebrate the Resurrection every Sunday, so this cross is meant for every day of the year, not just the Easter season. Is this bracelet sterling silver? No. The cross is made of a metal alloy with a 10-micron silver plating. Ten microns is a thick layer for plated jewelry, which helps the silver last with everyday wear. It is designed as an accessible devotional piece. Will this bracelet fit my wrist? The bracelet measures 6 inches at rest, and the stretch cord slips over your hand. It fits most women's wrists comfortably, as well as men with a slim wrist. If your wrist measures more than 6.5 inches, it may feel snug. We recommend measuring your wrist before ordering. Does it come in other colors? This bracelet comes with a black cord only. Can I wear it in water? We recommend removing it before showering or swimming to protect the silver plating and the stretch cord. Is the bracelet blessed? Our pieces are not sold blessed. Any priest or deacon can bless it for you. The Guadalupe Gifts Promise Guadalupe Gifts® is a family company founded by the Valerio family in Weston, Florida.
