Red Angel Wings Cross & Sword Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver
SKU: 2842
A cross and a sword share one silhouette here. The top is an openwork fleur-de-lis pommel; the bottom tapers to a blade point; angel wings spread feather by feather from the center. This red angel wings cross pendant weighs 13 grams and measures 35 × 46mm. The whole piece is solid .925 sterling silver, hallmarked on the back. A vivid magenta-red CZ cabochon sits bezel-set where the blade meets the wings. The polished blade catches light while the oxidized feathers hold shadow. It reads as a guardian angel's armament: protection and power in one piece.
Built For
If your faith has a warrior edge — The cross-as-sword isn't accidental. The tapered blade shape, the hilt-like crossguard, the wings spreading from the intersection — these reference Archangel Michael iconography. It's a pendant for people who see faith as active defense, not passive belief. The red stone at the center carries lifeblood and passion symbolism.
If you want a winged pendant with warm color — The red cabochon is smooth, dome-shaped — not faceted like a cut gem. It's a vivid, translucent magenta-red that glows when light passes through the open-backed bezel. Paired with the cool, oxidized silver wings, it creates a deliberate warm-cool contrast that reads dramatically against a dark shirt or bare chest.
If you ride and want a protective symbol — Guardian angel pendants are one of the most common rider talismans. This version trades the gentle, comforting angel image for something with teeth — a militant sword-cross with battle-ready wings, closer to Archangel Michael than to a nursery guardian. At 13 grams, it's light enough for highway riding without bouncing.
The Honest Take
The wing detail on this pendant matches the blue topaz version in quality — individually carved feathers with oxidized grooves between each plume. A carved sunburst fans out behind the stone, doubling as the sword's crossguard. The difference from the blue version is the stone. The red cabochon has a smooth, rounded surface rather than facets, so it glows from within rather than sparkling. Under bright studio light the color saturates toward magenta; against the skin it deepens to a warmer raspberry.
The sword-cross shape is narrower and more pointed than a traditional cross — a fleur-de-lis pommel up top, a tapered blade point at the bottom. Between the stone and the blade sits a short striated hilt band, and the oxidation settles deepest in the feather grooves, so the recesses stay dark while the raised silver stays bright. It's an aggressive silhouette, softened by the feathered wings spreading outward. The back is stamped "S&A Silver" alongside the .925 hallmark.
Pendant only — no chain included. The openwork fleur-de-lis pommel threads onto most standard chains or a cord.
Under the Hood
Before You Buy
Q: Why does the cross double as a sword on this pendant?
The cross reads as a sword because the design fuses both shapes into one silhouette — a fleur-de-lis pommel at the top, a tapered blade point at the bottom, and a carved sunburst crossguard where the oxidized wings spread. It's built to look like a guardian's weapon rather than a plain crucifix, carrying the holy-warrior meaning of Archangel Michael.
Q: How is the red stone set into the cross?
The red stone sits in a bezel — a raised silver rim wrapped around it — right where the blade meets the wings. It's a cubic zirconia cut as a smooth oval dome, not faceted, and the setting is open at the back, so light passes through and it glows rather than sparkles. Lab-created, so the magenta-red color stays consistent.
Q: What does the 'S&A Silver' stamp on the back mean?
The back is stamped 'S&A Silver' next to a '925' hallmark. The '925' means the metal is solid sterling — 92.5% pure — while 'S&A Silver' is the maker's mark of the workshop that hand-finished the piece. Both are engraved into the reverse of the cross, visible whenever you flip the pendant over.
