Ayntab Silver Cross Necklace by Muradian

Ayntab Silver Cross Necklace by Muradian

The design was created using the ornaments of Armenian Ayntab Embroidery.

Ayntab was a city of Cilicia in Historical Armenia (Nowadays Turkey), where the Armenians used to do needlework with a special technique, designs, and ornaments typical only to that city. Usually, it was done on white textiles with silk threads by filament technique.
So later the name of needlework was famous from the city name Ayntab.

So now Ayntab Needlework became an inspiration to create this collection of the cross.

It's a way to keep the pattern of Ayntab needlework alive and world-famous.
