Infinity Cross
Pendant
Story
The Short Story
A Christian cross hand folded from an infinity ribbon in
sterling silver, a symbol of God's infinite love and grace.
The Full Story
This piece is based on the combination of a Christian
cross and infinity as represented by the Mobius strip.
Each cross is hand folded from a Mobius strip form. The
cross a powerful symbol and immediately identifiable as
a Christian icon representing God’s deep and abiding love
for all of creation. The Mobius strip, a model of which can
easily be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a
half-twist then joining the ends of the strip together to
form a loop, though simple is an amazing thing. It has
only one side. What a curious thing. A line starting at any
random point drawn down the middle length will meet
the beginning of the line without picking up the pen. The
Mobius strip is often cited as the inspiration for the
infinity symbol, since if one were to stand on the surface
of a Mobius strip; one could walk along it forever. Some
mathematicians may argue the point, but this is where I
take artistic license.
Mobius strip as physical representation of infinity
combined with the cross representing Gods boundless
love seems to me a supercharged symbiotic symbol.
Contemplate the meaning of God’s infinite love and grace
and how it applies to your life. Feel the joy and serenity of
the knowledge that you are loved, infinitely. Draw a line
on one side of the cross and you will without interruption
find your way back to the beginning. Always on your
path, always present, always loved.
Description of Infinity Cross
This piece is hand formed from sterling silver. There are
two sizes of the cross, both are described as a range of
size as each is hand made and the final size depends on
just how the first bend is positioned because each
subsequent bend must follow in proportion to the first.
The small version which ranges in height from 1 inch to 1
and 1/4 inches and is formed from a finer flat wire of 1
millimeter thick and 2 millimeters wide. The larger cross
is in the range of 1 and 3/4 inches high formed from

millimeters wide. Infinity cross is sold without any chain

chain for the small, and a 1.5 millimeter box chain for the
large cross. Those can be seen in the photos of the
crosses. The chains can be ordered in the Chains and
Cords section of the website.
