1-3/8 x 7/8 inch polished sterling silver pierced and centered dove cross necklace on 24 inch stainless steel rhodium plated chain. The design includes a centered and pierced descending dove within a cross pendant. The dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. When Christ was baptized by John the Baptist, a dove descended on him, according Matthew 3:16 and Mark 1:10. The dove is sometimes depicted with an olive branch in its mouth as a symbol of peace. It also symbolizes God's grace. Includes an elegant deluxe velour jewelry box.
