The Cross Road 925 Sterling Silver Crucifix Pendant with St. Benedict Enamel, Obsidian, and Oxidation Finish

This bold 925 sterling silver cross pendant unites a detailed Crucifixion scene on the front with the full St. Benedict Medal on the reverse, accented by premium black obsidian glass inlays that create a deep, glossy black finish.

Front Side: The front features a depiction of Jesus Christ on the cross, topped with the INRI plaque (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum – “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews,” John 19:19). Centered at the intersection of the cross is a colorful enameled St. Benedict medal, displaying the traditional protective cross with the initials C S P B (Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti – “The Cross of our Holy Father Benedict”), surrounded by the inscription V R S N S M V – S M Q L I V B (Vade Retro Satana… – “Begone, Satan… Drink your own poison!”).

Back Side: The reverse showcases the full St. Benedict Medal rendered in blue enamel, depicting St. Benedict holding a cross and his Rule. It includes the complete protective inscriptions and the central cross marked with C S S M L – N D S M D (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux – “May the Holy Cross be my light”; Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux – “May the dragon never be my guide”).

The black obsidian glass inlays add mirror-like depth and are traditionally associated with grounding and protection, beautifully complementing the St. Benedict medal’s renowned spiritual safeguarding against evil, temptation, and harm in Catholic tradition.

Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, this substantial pendant measures approximately 51.8mm in height and 24.1mm in width. Perfect for everyday wear or as a meaningful gift for confirmations, baptisms, spiritual milestones, or anyone seeking enhanced protection through faith.
