Silver darkens. Bronze darkens faster, and against skin it can leave a mark.
The seal is a clear coating applied by hand at the bench, after the piece is poured, oxidized, and relieved. It goes on thin, sits in the low places without clouding them, and locks the finish exactly where it was the day it left Vermont. The oxidation stays where it was put. The high points stay bright.
It goes on the back face and the edges — the surfaces that meet skin and shirt — so the front of the piece is untouched.
Applied to every pendant in your order before it ships. Nothing for you to do.
Add to any order.
Covers impact damage, a bent bail, and deep gouges from daily wear. If it happens, we repair or replace the piece.
Add once per pendant. Coverage runs two years from delivery.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — John 15:13
Three nails. Two through the hands, one through the feet. Bound at the crossing and cast as one piece.
This is the pocket version of the design that has done more than any other we make. Same composition, remade as an object you carry rather than wear. Every edge is rounded, the point blunted, the face wide enough to fill the hand and settle flat against you.
Hand-poured and finished at the bench. Comes on black paracord in a tight snake weave.
In bronze, the dark patina sits in the hammer marks and the high points come up warm and bright the more you handle it. It will not stay the way it arrives.
In .999 fine silver, the piece carries real weight in the hand. The recesses darken with time and the raised surfaces polish themselves against your pocket.

Ordered a Pocket/ Carry cross , received a leather necklace… Fail . Also ordered on 08/19 and did not receive until 09/12 …. Told there was an issue with materials… how is the customer responsible for this…. Didn’t have any problems getting paid ? Seems unfair and a bit rude.
Laurence — you're right, we shipped the wrong piece and the wait was too long. Correct Carry is on its way with a prepaid return label, emailed you the details.
Love this cross! The paracord adds a great touch. Has been in my pocket since I received it. Thank you! Excellent craftsmanship!
That's exactly where it's supposed to live. Thanks for the photo, the bronze looks good already, it only gets better the longer it rides in your pocket.
This piece looks old, which is exactly what I wanted. It’s very well crafted. It’s amazing.
That's the whole idea with the bronze, we patina it so it looks like it's been carried for years on day one. Thanks for the photo Kevin, glad it's in your pocket.
The paracord was not done very good!
Hi Erik, sorry to hear the paracord tying didn’t meet your expectations. Each Cross Carry is assembled by hand, and if the knot or cord ever needs adjusting, it’s a quick fix and we’re always happy to help. We wish you had reached out to us directly so we could have taken care of it for you. We stand behind our work and appreciate the feedback.
