This sterling silver cross pendant piece is completely handmade starting from a laser-cut cross, then hand stamped with the year 1776, commemorating the birth of a nation founded on principles of liberty and justice. Thomas Jefferson once said it was "God who gave us life gave us liberty." We love combining God and country in our collections, and this pendant really expresses both in an understated and elegant way. Comes with an adjustable 16-18 inch sterling silver rolo chain. Shown with 16 inch length in photo.
St. Thomas Aquinas considered patriotism to be a part of the virtue of piety. He believed that reverence for one's country includes homage to all fellow citizens and friends of the country. Aquinas saw patriotism as a divine religious obligation derived from our loving relationship with God, making it something owed to our fellow citizens.
***Please note every pendant will look different due to the sporadic nature of hand stamping. There could be an impression on the back of the pendant and this is normal due to displaced metal. I cannot guarantee the placement of each letter, but will ensure all look professional and up to my high standards.
