A stunning collection and varieties of the Havaria, or Solomonic crosses. All made in high silver quality 835/1000. I had a client who refers to them also as the Wheel of Thor. I like that. Like many people refer to the Axum crosses as Keltic .All crosses have been made in the Lost Wax system, and later the file grain or etching decoration added. All done in such a high standard of craftmanship.

    Betty , I'll never forget  You and Eva Lea telling the seller off with no hidden words.  I was proud of you two.

    Hi Ingrid, I had forgotten this, but reading the comments of Betty and you,  I remember and it made me laugh!  Beautiful crosses ( I do not know what means Havaria crosses), but I like their shape.
