About The Christian Cross with Five Tear-Drop Shaped Stones

This little cross is just the right balance of design and symbolism as the five tear drop shaped turquoise stones are synonymous with the five (5) wounds of Christ.

It is a humble piece executed with care and love--a beautiful spiritual reminder, not an arrogant welath statement.
