PRODUCT INFO
+
The cross is handcrafted in 18K white gold and rhodium plated. At its heart sits a signature faceted skull, sculpted as a symbol of continuity, time, and transformation.
The piece is available in three sizes, measuring approximately 3 cm, 4 cm, or 6 cm, allowing the cross to be worn with subtlety or strong presence.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is one of the rarest and most precious metals in the world. Applied as a fine protective layer, it enhances brightness and preserves the luminous appearance of white gold.
Custom made chains measuring 55 cm are available as an option.
Gemstone variations are possible upon consultation.
INSPIRATION
As a child, I was struck by the sound of Don’t Fear the Reaper. The hypnotic guitar line, the words that speak not of death but of love that endures and of the calm that comes when fear fades. The song stayed with me, like a quiet voice guiding the way forward. DFTR carries that same presence. A cross shaped with intention, sacred in its lines and rebellious in its spirit, crowned with our faceted skull as a mark of transcendence. Its story also echoes Patti Smith, her bond with the band, her poetry, her raw tenderness, her way of turning emotion into fire. This piece stands at the meeting point of rock, devotion, courage, and freedom. A companion for those who carry love beyond fear and choose to wear the story.
