The Caravaca relic is a Christian symbol that represents the content of Christ's message and action. Legend has it... In the middle of the 8th century, during the time when the Arabs and Berbers were in conflict, it is said that a miracle occurred in Caravaca de la Cruz. Celebrating the Last Supper, the King arranged for the required apparatus, including wine, bread, candles, and a pall cloth atop an altar. The only missing item was the cross, and Don Cuenca explained that he could not proceed with the demonstration without the cross. He explained how its presence was critical to the Eucharistic mission. At this very moment, the King exclaimed in astonishment when two angels from Heaven entered through the window, carrying a cross. They placed it on the altar and disappeared, leaving all the witnesses to this spectacle awestruck. Two angels entered through an open window bearing a lignum crucis, which was later found to have come from Jerusalem. This led to the cross becoming known as the True Cross, and it was subsequently incorporated into Caravaca's coat of arms.

This Caravaca Cross pendant is made of Solid Sterling Silver S925 with 19 inlayed zircons along the bottom. The oval pendant measures 1 1/8" in length and 5/8" in width.

A little background on Sterling Silver Hypoallergenic Jewelry is made from materials less likely to cause an adverse skin reaction. Any metal mixture of 2 or more metals is called an alloy. Elements are alloyed to achieve different properties such as strength, malleability, durability, tarnish-resistance and sometimes just color preference. Some pure metals, such as silver, are too soft in their pure elemental state and bend and scratch quite easily. So Jewelers will add 2 different metals together to strengthen the metal. The result is a metal alloy called sterling silver which is much harder. To make sterling silver you would alloy 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper to achieve a stronger more durable metal.
