Prayer Beads - Céile Dé Cross

These sterling silver crosses are slightly larger and a little more substantial than the more delicate Universal crosses. You won't find this cross anywhere else; it has been especially commissoned and hand-made for us by AosDana Silversmiths on Iona. The antique-finished cross bears the exclusive Iona hallmark.
