This pendant is a chunky little cross shape built from two hammered bars, one vertical and one horizontal, with a dark oxidized look down the center. The edges pick up warmer bronze/gold tones, so it feels two-tone without being shiny. There are three small rectangular stones set into it: a purple one on the right, a deep wine-red one on the left, and a honey-yellow one sitting in the middle. It hangs on a dark chain with tiny gold-toned spacer beads mixed in.

The purple is amethyst, the yellow citrine, and the red  garnet. Amethyst is the “quiet your brain” stone, citrine is usually tied to motivation and keeping your energy up, and garnet gets the steady, grounded vibe. I like that they’re set like little blocks, not swirly, more like a simple reminder: calm, go, don’t wobble.

BORA started with three brothers in Brooklyn, New York, and they lean into rougher textures and heavier shapes. Their work often uses oxidized 925 sterling silver with bronze or gold accents, with Mediterranean influence and old traditions behind the forms.
