Saint Christopher meaning

Saint Christopher is a figure revered as the patron saint of travelers, especially those who drive, due to his legendary role in helping people cross a dangerous river. The name “Christopher” means the bearer of Christ in Greek, reflecting his association with carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders during the river crossing. He is also known as a protector against sudden death and a symbol of safe journeys. The popular story of Saint Christopher involves a strong man who helped people cross a river, ultimately carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders, the weight of which seemed to increase with each step.

Because of this legend and his reputation for helping those on the road, Saint Christopher is considered the patron saint of travelers.

His image, often depicted carrying the Christ Child, is seen as a symbol of protection and guidance for safe travel, and he is invoked for protection from accidents, bad weather, and sudden death.

Sterling silver meaning

The St Christopher Pendant Necklace is made from sterling silver and features a 92.5 stamp, this means it is 92.5% fine silver with no more than 7.5% of copper or other metals. This formula is internationally accepted and it gives sterling silver the hardness and the tolerance to work with. Anything higher than 92.5 would be too soft and tarnish too quickly. When you buy sterling silver from us we can guarantee it is just that!

Sterling silver care tips

To keep your sterling silver looking its best, use a silver polishing cloth or silvo on an old rag and give it a gentle rub. This will give your jewellery back its brilliant shine! Silver will tarnish from being exposed to air but will take a good six weeks to discolour. Items that are worn constantly will take a lot longer! To preserve the shine on your silver avoid contact with ammonia, alcohol, fingernail polish remover or turpentine. ALWAYS remove sterling silver jewellery while in natural hot pools because of the high sulphur content in the water. Do not use silver dip. Dip cleaners work for the first few times but it puts a layer on the silver and can discolour stones and shell. Toothpaste is also not a good idea as it is too abrasive.

If you see the words silver plated, that means it only has a coating of sterling silver over another alloy. This will fade over time and is not able to be polished. Our sterling silver products are not plated but sterling silver all the way through– nothing but the good stuff for you!!
