Occitan Cross Pendant Sterling Silver | Cathar Faith Jewelry | Made in USA
Few symbols compress as much history into twelve points as the Occitan Cross. Born in the Languedoc region of southern France and later linked to the Cathar movement of the 12th and 13th centuries, it goes by many names — Cathar Cross, Cross of Toulouse, Cross of Languedoc — and its dozen points have been read as the twelve apostles or the signs of the zodiac, depending on who tells the story.

This American-made rendering is produced by lost-wax casting, a technique whose lineage runs back 6,500 years to Egypt and Mesopotamia, then polished by hand so every point stays sharp and bright. Cast in .925 sterling silver, the flat charm spans 0.81" x 0.69" and weighs just 1.2 grams — light enough to hang from the finest chain without dragging.
It makes a meaningful confirmation gift, a souvenir of travels through Toulouse and Carcassonne, or a marker of Occitan ancestry rediscovered in the family tree. Medieval history readers and collectors of uncommon cross forms will appreciate how rarely this design appears in silver.
A sterling silver jump ring arrives attached, so the pendant is ready for a necklace or charm bracelet immediately.
