Red Angel Wings Cross & Sword Pendant — .925 Sterling Silver
SKU: 2842
This pendant speaks to people who carry their faith like a weapon — not hidden, not quiet. A .925 sterling silver cross doubles as a sword, flanked by angel wings carved feather by feather, with a red CZ cabochon at the intersection where blade meets wings. Thirteen grams, 35mm × 46mm. The polished blade catches light while the oxidized feathers hold shadow. It reads as a guardian angel's armament — protection and power in one wearable 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 adds blood-line symbolism.
If you want a winged pendant with warm color — The red cabochon is smooth, dome-shaped — not faceted like a cut gem. It has a deep, almost burgundy red that glows when light passes through it. Paired with the cool silver wings, it creates a warm-cool color contrast that's striking 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 angel image for something with teeth — a sword-cross with battle-ready wings. At 13 grams, it's light enough for highway riding without bouncing. The wide wingspan keeps it facing forward on the chain.
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. The difference is the stone. The red cabochon has a smooth, rounded surface rather than facets, which gives it a different light behavior — it glows from within rather than sparkling.
The sword/cross shape is narrower and more pointed than a traditional cross. The top has a fleur-de-lis style pommel. The bottom tapers to a blade point. 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 bail fits chains up to about 5mm. The 35mm wingspan keeps the pendant oriented forward on most chain styles.

Before You Buy
Q: What does the winged cross-sword combination represent?
It's a holy warrior motif — the sword for courage and justice, the cross for faith, the wings for divine protection. In Christian iconography, it references Archangel Michael, the defender of heaven. In broader culture, it means strength guided by higher purpose.
Q: Is the red stone natural or lab-created?
It's a red cubic zirconia in a cabochon (smooth dome) cut — lab-created for consistent deep red color and durability. The cabochon shape gives it a different look from faceted stones — it glows rather than sparkles.
Q: How does this compare to the blue topaz version?
Same wing design, same dimensions and weight. The differences: red CZ cabochon vs. blue topaz faceted stone, and the cross/sword shape is slightly different from the dagger form. The red version has a warmer, more intense feel. The blue version is cooler and more subdued.
