Museums and individuals worldwide collect large Ethiopian handheld Coptic crosses and bold cross necklace pendants. They feature incredibly beautiful silver and bronze metalwork with compelling designs.
I have been especially intrigued by the small 1 inch or so collectible pendants. This faith jewelry is often ancient-looking and artisan crafted with a rustic edge.

| ETHIOPIAN COPTIC CROSSES - SMALL |
These petite crosses are harder to find. But you can find them with diligent searching at arts and crafts fairs, import stores or on internet shopping websites.
Regrettably, my all-time favorite, a half inch long leatherwork Ethiopian cross was stolen from my car. I had stupidly used it to adorn the rearview mirror. I hope that jewelry thief got a blessing.
