The Cross: A Beacon of Faith

In its most fundamental shape, the cross is Christianity's emblem, epitomizing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, an act of sacrifice without parallel for our salvation. At Apples of Gold, our crucifixes are fashioned from a spectrum of precious metals, each variant resonating with its own message. The warmth of 18k gold crucifixes encapsulates the love of Jesus, much like the comforting rays of the sun. On the other hand, platinum crucifixes convey an ageless strength and purity, reflecting the unchangeable nature of Christ's love.

The Corpus of Jesus: The Soul of the Crucifix

To behold crucifix jewelry with the corpus of Jesus is to witness more than an image; it is to encounter the very essence of divine love and sacrifice. Our artisans pour their soul into each corpus, ensuring the portrayal captures both the human and divine facets of Christ. This meticulous attention isn't just for beauty's sake; it's about capturing the instant of atonement, when Jesus took upon Himself the sins of the world, a moment that echoes eternally.

The INRI Plaque: A Proclamation of Kingly Truth

Above the corpus on many of our crucifixes, you'll find the INRI plaque, an abbreviation for "Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum" – Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. INRI Crucifix Pendants, whether inscribed in gold or etched into the metal, serve as a direct reference to the historical narrative of Jesus' crucifixion, asserting His sovereignty even in His moment of greatest humility. It's a silent declaration of His identity and purpose, as poignant as the words from the Gospel of John.

The Atonement: A Visual Sermon

The crucifix is not just jewelry but a visual sermon of the atonement, where Jesus' death on the cross brought humanity back to God. Our 22 gold crucifixes shine with the luster of redemption, their purity a symbol meant to cleanse and renew. Each piece is an invitation to ponder one's own journey of faith, echoing the teachings Jesus imparted through His parables.

The Nails: Anchors of Eternal Love

Though the nails might not always be in plain sight, their symbolism is profound. They are the anchors of His love, securing Him to the cross for our redemption. In our designs, these might be subtly incorporated or given prominence, each one a testament to the depth of Christ's commitment to humanity, resonating with the steadfast love described in the Psalms.

The Crown of Thorns: Humility Meets Majesty

The crown of thorns in our crucifix designs symbolizes the profound meeting of humility and sovereignty in Jesus. It reminds us that even in suffering, He was crowned, signifying His undiminished kingship. This duality is beautifully captured in our white gold crucifixes, where the metal's cool reflection contrasts with the harsh reality of the thorns, speaking to the paradox of His earthly journey.
