Saint Francis Tau Cross Necklace – Handmade Stainless Steel
Saint Francis made the Tau one of the signs most closely associated with his life—a mark of blessing, conversion, simplicity and peace.
This substantial stainless steel necklace brings that story into a richly sculptural form. Saint Francis stands at the heart of the Tau with his arms open among birds and the living world, creating a wearable reminder of humility, compassion and our shared relationship with creation.
The necklace forms part of Paisley Honey’s original Saint Francis metalwork collection, designed and handmade in Scotland during the 800th anniversary year of the saint’s death. Darkened recesses emphasise the detailed relief, while the raised silver-coloured surfaces catch the light and give the piece a characterful, almost time-worn appearance.
Made entirely from stainless steel, it is durable enough for regular wear and has a satisfying substance without feeling excessively heavy. The generous 58 cm chain allows the pendant to sit naturally on the chest or over a shirt or light knitwear. Its scale and styling make it suitable for both men and women.
This is a strong story-led gift for customers devoted to Saint Francis or drawn to Franciscan spirituality, peace, simplicity and care for creation. It also works particularly well as a Confirmation, ordination, vocation, clergy or Christian milestone gift.
