Authentic Holding Cross Hand-Carved from olive wood grown in Bethlehem, each cross carries a blessing from Oak Haven
Size: Choice of 2.5” or 4”
Lovingly hand-carved from genuine olive wood grown in Bethlehem, each holding cross is a unique expression of faith, peace, and craftsmanship. The olive trees of the Holy Land have long been symbols of endurance and divine blessing, and this cross carries that same spirit in every smooth curve and natural grain.
Designed to rest comfortably in your palm, this comfort cross—also known as a hand cross or prayer cross—is ideal for times of prayer, meditation, or reflection. The warm, organic texture of the olive wood brings a sense of calm and grounding, helping to center the mind and heart. No two crosses are ever the same; each piece reveals its own beautiful wood grain patterns, connecting you to both the artisan who shaped it and the sacred earth from which it came.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift for loved ones, a token of encouragement, or a comforting keepsake during times of grief, travel, or healing. Each cross is a tangible reminder of faith’s quiet strength.
GroveTop FAQ
What are your metal integrity tests?
We take quality seriously, so each piece undergoes a series of real-world tests. We perform a vinegar test to simulate sweat exposure, a saltwater test to check resistance to corrosion, and a chlorine test to ensure durability around pool water. These tests help ensure that your jewelry is made to last in everyday conditions.
Where do your stones originate?
We source our stones from a variety of trusted suppliers around the world, focusing on quality and unique character. Many of our stones come from regions renowned for their natural beauty, and we hand-select each one to ensure it complements our designs. Whether it’s amethyst, jasper, or quartz, every stone has its own story and is chosen to bring a little extra joy from the grove to you.
Where is your wood sourced from?
We carefully select our wood from a blend of meaningful places. Much of it is olive wood sourced from Bethlehem, carrying a rich heritage. We also work with skilled artisans here in the U.S. to incorporate locally sourced woods. Each piece is chosen to reflect both the natural beauty and the heartfelt craftsmanship that we stand for.
METAL CARE, MAINTENANCE, & SAFETY
To maintain the beauty and integrity of your purchase, we recommend treating it with care. Simple maintenance practices, such as routine gentle polishing (especially 925 silver) and proper storage, can effectively preserve the longevity of your favorite pieces.
We highly recommend you review our Jewelry Care & Safety blog article.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible. Need to return something? Just let us know.
What size are your Celtic pendants?
Each of our signature Celtic pendants is crafted to a comfortable, medium-scale size that’s ideal for everyday wear. The standard Celtic Cross design measures approximately 50mm (1.97 inches) tall and 30mm (1.18 inches) wide — about the size of a U.S. half dollar or two stacked quarters side by side.
This balanced scale allows the pieces to be large enough to showcase intricate knotwork, yet subtle enough to wear daily on a chain or keychain.
