Sterling Silver or 9ct Gold Armenian 'Siroun' Cross
also known as Armenian 'Khachkar' Cross

 

Exclusive to Blue Heron Jewellery, this exquisite Christian cross is based on the traditional Armenian 'Siroun' Cross, also known as the Khachkar Cross. Available in either 9ct gold or sterling silver, its soft background sheen complements the raised, polished detailing, creating a cross that is both attractive and distinctive.

The Cross symbol holds a special place in the Armenian Church, drawing together fundamental aspects of the Armenian religion.
A particular feature of Armenian Crosses is the triple loop at the corner tip of each of the limbs. These are representative of Suns, bringing in the 'light of Christianity' to the world, the eight corners themselves being the eight points of the compass. The three loops, in addition, denote the Trinity or 'Three in One' concept.
The four limbs of Armenian Crosses signify the four corners of the world, which are illuminated by rays of light emanating from the centre or 'eye'.
To the Armenians, a cross is seen as a demonstration of eternal life. To emphasise this belief the patterns on their crosses often form unbroken lines, similar to the many examples of Celtic Knots we see today. 


Our fabulous Armenian cross incorporates these symbols to form a magnificent piece of jewellery
 that you will want to treasure forever.
With its attractive eye-catching design, this cross will appeal, not just to Armenians, but to Christians everywhere.
