Believe Cross™ tries to blend elegant design with quality to last the test of time and deliver reverence for the form of the cross. Our team members design all of our crosses. This makes each cross very personal to us and also allows the artisan to see their design through to completion and fully express his intentions in the cross. From indoor crucifixes to our signature SweetHeart Cross™, each cross and holder was designed and sculpted with meaning and purpose. You will see a number of themes that run through our work, and more themes are being created from inspiration in the scripture and in our daily lives. One theme we design from incorporates a rustic or natural feel, incorporating twisting limbs, a live edge, or some other beauty in nature. All of the materials we incorporate in our design mix functionality with beauty. We consider ourselves perpetual students of cross building, studying crosses from around the world, especially in our travels to European centers of Christianity. However, as artisans, we embrace creativity, out of the box design, and problem solving which we have applied to our cross building. After several attempts at tinkering and trying new ideas, we have created many innovative solutions in our design and process that make our crosses what they are today. We continually strive to incorporate new ideas, constantly improving our concepts, processes, and ultimately our art.
