Faith, carved from a single piece of wood
Holy Fringe makes simple wooden cross necklaces from solid ebony, walnut, and rosewood. No glue, no metal, nothing extra. Just a familiar symbol of faith, made to be worn every day.
We make one thing, and we try to make it well
A cross doesn't need gold, stones, or a complicated design to mean something. Some of the most treasured crosses are the simplest ones: a plain wooden cross worn for years until it fits the hand perfectly.
That's the cross we wanted to make. Each Holy Fringe pendant is cut from one solid piece of natural wood and hung on a cord you can adjust in seconds. Because every piece of wood is different, every cross we send out is one of a kind.
Wear it close to your heart, hold it while you pray, or hang it from your car mirror as a reminder on the road. However you use it, we hope it becomes part of your everyday faith.
Why Holy Fringe?
In the Gospel of Matthew, a woman who had been ill for twelve years pushed through the crowd just to touch the fringe of Jesus' garment. She didn't need to speak to Him or be seen. She believed that even the smallest touch would be enough.
Our name comes from that moment. A small wooden cross is our way of keeping something holy within reach, something you can touch whenever you need to remember that faith doesn't have to be loud to be strong.
“If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.”
Matthew 9:21
What we believe a cross should be
-
Whole, not assembled
Every cross is cut from one solid piece of wood. There are no glued joints to loosen and no parts to come apart.
-
Nothing between you and the wood
No metal, no plating, no clasps. Just natural wood and a soft cord, comfortable against your skin all day.
-
Made to be held
A cross is meant to be used: worn every day, held in prayer, or carried with you on every drive.
Three woods, three characters
Each wood has its own color, grain, and way of aging. Choose the one that feels most like you.
Ebony
Deep, near-black, and exceptionally dense. Ebony is smooth to the touch and gives a strong, minimal look that goes with everything.

Warm brown with clearly visible grain lines. Walnut feels classic and natural, and slowly takes on a golden tone with time.

Rich reddish-brown with dark, flowing streaks. Rosewood deepens in color as you wear it, developing a patina that's uniquely yours.
