The details
Made with purpose.
Materials, dimensions, and care for the piece you carry.
A quiet reminder, carried close.
The Teen Boys' Cross & Shield carries the shield of faith from Ephesians 6:16, with the cross raised at its center. It is the same hand-finished pendant we make for adults, sized for a young man, and made to be worn every day as a reminder to pause, pray, and place his trust in Christ.
A meaningful gift for a baptism, a confirmation, a birthday or Christmas morning, and one he can keep for years.
Small (30mm) is the more discreet of the two. Medium (40mm) is the same size as our men's Large.
Not decoration. A reminder of whose he is.
