Own a beautiful piece of French history with these genuine antique mother-of-pearl (nacre) crucifix pendants, sold individually.
Dating from the late 19th century to the early 20th century (circa 1890s–1930s), these delicate religious treasures were traditionally given in France to commemorate sacred milestones such as First Holy Communions and Confirmations.
Each cross features a beautifully carved base of authentic mother-of-pearl, celebrated for its radiant, iridescent luster that shifts gracefully in the light. The meticulously detailed Corpus (body of Christ) and INRI banners are crafted from mixed metals, ranging from silver plating to aged brass, creating a stunning contrast against the shimmering nacre backgrounds.
Because these are true antiques, no two are exactly alike. Use the drop-down menu to select the exact style that speaks to you. They are perfect to wear as a daily statement necklace, add to a historic rosary, or give as a soulful, one-of-a-kind gift.
