Ribcage Spine Cross Pendant – 925 Silver

Curved ribs turn the cross into an open skeletal frame

The front reads first as a cross, then resolves into paired ribs around a segmented spine. Long bone-like elements extend left and right, while a pointed upper vertebral section reaches the bail.

Anatomical describes the recognizable skeleton-inspired parts, not medical accuracy, human remains, a teaching model or a health claim. No religious blessing or required symbolic interpretation is documented.

This open rib structure separates the design from solid Latin crosses, skull-centered cruciform pendants and flat X-ray engravings. Its negative space is as important as the metal outline.

Clear the vertebrae and rib gaps with gentle brushing

Take the pendant off before sleep, sport or handling equipment. Narrow ribs and bone ends can catch fabric or receive impact before the stronger center.

Wash with mild soap and use a very soft brush around every vertebra and open gap. Rinse from both sides and dry completely without pushing sharp objects between the ribs.

FTC guidance supports reading the 925 description, while CCI warns that repeated polishing removes silver. Preserve the intentional dark detail and store the cross flat.

Judge a long 62 x 41mm cross with open rib spaces

• Material: 925 silver, as listed
• Listed size: 62 x 41 mm; axes are not defined
• Published weight: 13 g
• Verified anatomy motif: ribs, spine and bone-shaped arms
• Construction: open skeletal frame rather than a solid plate

Compare the listed outline against a cross you already own and review the gallery for thickness. Openwork lowers visual density, but the long bones still create a broad silhouette.

Confirm chain-end clearance through the top attachment. The 13 g value is the current product reference, while chain inclusion and bail dimensions are not published.

Choose this piece for skeletal geometry. A buyer seeking a conventional devotional cross should consider whether the anatomical interpretation suits the intended setting.
