Forged by hand in solid sterling silver, this large cross pendant is sculpted with precision and intention. Each stake is twisted along the spine and arms, creating a flowing, tactile form that catches the light with subtle movement. At each of the four ends, the wire turns inward—shaping heart-like contours that speak to both strength and grace. Built entirely by hand in our Adirondack studio, this cross carries the balance of rugged form and refined detail, a timeless symbol of devotion and craftsmanship. These measure approximately 3 inches.
Collector’s Note
Each cross pendant is built to order, forged by hand in our Adirondack studio using traditional silversmithing tools and techniques. Subtle variations in twist, form, and texture make every piece truly one-of-a-kind. Please allow up to 2 weeks for hand fabrication before your heirloom is ready to ship.
Each piece begins in our Adirondack studio, where traditional silversmithing tools meet intentional design. Using time-honored methods—torch, hammer, file, and fire—we hand-forge every form from raw sterling silver. The process is deliberate and tactile, allowing each curve, texture, and finish to evolve naturally beneath our hands. No two pieces are ever identical—each one carries its own weight, balance, and character.
Our work is rooted in the wilderness that surrounds us. The rugged terrain, flowing rivers, and shifting light of the mountains guide our process and shape our perspective. Every design reflects this connection—where raw nature meets refined form, and timeless craftsmanship gives rise to enduring beauty.
Sterling Roots is more than adornment—it’s a continuation of tradition. As third-generation silversmiths, we build with integrity, precision, and respect for the craft. Each piece is designed to endure, to be collected, and to become part of your own story—an heirloom born of the wild and shaped by hand.
We invite you to explore the work, discover the details, and connect with the artistry behind each creation. For those who value authenticity and craftsmanship, Sterling Roots offers more than jewelry—it offers a legacy forged in fire and inspired by the untamed.
Rooted in tradition. Forged by hand. Jewelry built to tell your story.
