Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the IC XC inscription?
IC XC is the traditional Greek Christogram — an abbreviation of Iēsous Christos (Jesus Christ). It appears on the budded cross tips of this pendant and is a hallmark of Eastern Orthodox Christian iconography.
What is the difference between an endless chain and a chain with clasp?
An endless chain is a continuous loop with no clasp — it slips over the head and is ideal for those who prefer a clean, uninterrupted look. A chain with clasp has a lobster-claw or spring-ring closure, making it easier to put on and take off independently.
What is the difference between Light Rhodium and Sterling Silver chains?
The Light Rhodium chains have a bright, white-silver finish with rhodium plating for tarnish resistance. The Sterling Silver chains are solid .925 sterling and will develop a natural patina over time — they can be polished to restore shine. Sterling Silver chains are priced higher due to the precious metal content.
Is this pendant suitable as a gift?
Yes — it makes a meaningful gift for baptisms, confirmations, graduations, name days, Father's Day, or any occasion honoring a man of Orthodox Christian faith. Consider adding a chain for a complete, ready-to-wear gift.
Is this made in the USA?
Yes. This pendant is handcrafted in the USA by Bliss Manufacturing, a 4th-generation family-owned company that has been making devotional jewelry since 1900.
