Sterling silver cross pendant, 'God is Supreme'

Timothy

Sep 10, 2024

I am blessed by this work.

I am recently saved and had been looking for my lifetime devotional cross to wear. I had purchased a couple other items from Mexican artists in silver from NOVICA. I did not create an account at that time. I loved this immediately on arrival!!! Thank you so much for your well considered creativity in the integration of the adinkra. I will wear it all my days.
