Product Details

Rare and fascinating vintage “Shadow of the Lord” pendant necklace by Giovanni (John) Antonio Cerrito. This collectible religious piece features an intricate openwork gold-tone pendant specially designed to create a hidden image through light and shadow. When the pendant is held in front of a bright light, its abstract cutout design casts the recognizable profile of Jesus Christ onto a wall or other surface—a wonderfully unusual optical-effect design. The pendant hangs from a delicate gold-tone chain and has a textured finish that gives the piece beautiful dimension while maintaining a simple, wearable silhouette.
