The Eleousa (Virgin of Tenderness) is a type of depiction of the Virgin Mary that represents her compassionate side. She is shown bending to touch her cheek to that of her child, the infant Jesus Christ, who is nestled against her cheek, emphasizing the reciprocal affection and relationship between mother and child.
On the back is a short prayer written in Cyrillic letters, which is however not readable.
This is a piece of jewellery which is often found in the Russian and Greek Orthodox religion.
Each pendant is handcrafted by two brothers, George and Panagiotis, in the picturesque village of Lefkara, in a workshop they have been running since 1968. Our chains are made in Italy.

Care
SISTER jewellery is made of 24k Gold-plated 925 Sterling Silver. Gold plating naturally wears off over time, revealing the silver beneath. Avoid contact with fragrances, lotions, rough surfaces and cleaning agents, especially chlorine as it can permanently damage or discolour your jewellery. Make sure your skin is dry before putting on your jewellery. Always remove your gold plated jewellery in the shower, when swimming or exercising and store it in a dry and air-tight place. Clean it gently with a soft cloth only and avoid rubbing. Unlike mass produced jewellery,handmade pieces will almost always have imperfections and each piece will never be identical to another. This uniqueness is part of the beauty of handmade jewellery.
More than 10.000 customers wear Sister jewelry
Each piece has a unique story behind it and is crafted by hand in a family-owned workshop
Customer Reviews
It looks Beautiful. It is really fine and I am scared to break the chain. The pendant is really light (maybe brass material?)
I didn’t know it’s not suppose to be left on all the time and apparently fades after a while which is said on the little card that comes with the necklace. I guess I didn’t inform myself well enough before.
It is a beautiful necklace but I wish it was a Little more Long Lasting
Dir Kette ist wirklich hübsch, allerdings seehr zart und man muss sicher sehr Acht geben, dass sie nicht reißt. Bei der Lieferung, die durch dpd recht lange dauerte, waren leider alle Ketten extrem verknotet, sodass ich erst einmal eine halbe Stunde vorsichtig alles auseinanderfriemeln musste.
Good quality, as described, seller included free earrings to compensate for delayed shipping! Very happy with my necklace, would buy again.
The shipping can take a while but it's worth it. This is the second time I've ordered from them and love their jewelry. It's so beautifully made. I love how their charms and chains are dainty and feminine but still are made to last and have weight to them. They are very good with customer service and getting back to you in a timely manner.
It's lovely and delicate. Everything I was hoping for.
