Images are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design.
A cross that comes to a point — part reliquary, part blade. Ornate filigree frames a line of black stones down the center, the lower arm drawn out into a slow dagger. Each hangs from a patterned huggie hoop and turns as you move.
From the dark register — Duskgild's memento mori line. Every pair is cast in solid 925 sterling silver and oxidized to a deep grey-black in the recesses, a row of lab-created black cubic zirconia set down the length of each cross. Its kin is Misericorde, the dagger drop earrings — the same edge, without the cross.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Crux hangs point-down from a patterned huggie and turns as you move, the black stones down the center catching the light against the dark silver. The pair mirrors, left and right — a cross that comes to a blade, worn at the ear.
