Small in form, yet forged with the same devotion as its larger counterpart — this tiny twisted cross pendant is built by hand in sterling silver, with wire stakes twisted along the spine and across the arms. Each of the four ends curves into delicate heart-shaped points, symbolizing grace and strength in perfect balance. Designed to be understated yet powerful, it carries the quiet presence of something meaningful — sculpted, enduring, and timeless.
Measures 1.5 inches
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.
