Ichthys 'Fish' 14K Gold

SKU FC10N14K This Christian jewelry design of intersecting curves was perhaps the earliest symbol of Christianity. It was a time when the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire was at its height, and secrecy among followers was paramount. A fish would be an obvious choice of symbol for Christians when referred to so frequently in the Gospels. Being made of two simply drawn arcs, it may have been a method for two Christians to secretly identify each other, one drawing a curve in the sand, the other completing the symbol. 14 Karat Yellow, Rose, or White Gold Pendant size is 1 1/8" x 1/2" Chain length is 18" Made in the USA All of our gold jewelry is custom made and takes approx. 3-4 weeks.
