Your Mission, should you choose to accept it...

Genuine turquoise U.S.A. gemstone

From the 16th century onward, Spain sent missionaries to the Americas to spread the word of Christianity. Far from home, these brave souls established the historic mission buildings as both refuge and gathering place, and as staging posts for the preaching of their faith. The legacy of these messengers lives on today in the historic mission buildings that still stand in the American Southwest.

We celebrate these early evangelists with the Mission Turquoise Cross Pendant. The faithful Christian cross design feature 3 2/5 total carats of genuine turquoise that was mined in the same region as many of the finest missions— the American Southwest.

Wear the Mission Turquoise Cross Pendant to honor the missionaries who came before, and to continue their early work by proudly representing your faith today.
