The Guardian Angel Icon: A Bridge Between Heaven and Earth
At its core, the Guardian Angel Icon is a medium-sized wooden icon, featuring dimensions of approximately Width – 3.1 inches (8cm) and Length – 4.3 inches (11cm). It’s a meticulously crafted piece, drawing inspiration from the Byzantine era’s sacred images, known for their spiritual depth and artistic detail. This precious icon is an original copy of such Byzantine sacred imagery, reproduced using the typical colors of iconography. What sets it apart is its luxurious coating of pure silver 999, applied using the advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology to meet European standards. This specialized treatment ensures the icon remains pristine and unalterable through the years, symbolizing the eternal presence and unchanging protection of the guardian angel it represents.

The icon is painstakingly handcrafted from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), chosen for its durability and smooth finish, providing a perfect canvas for the sacred image. Available in both gold and silver versions, the icon’s aesthetic versatility makes it suitable for a variety of settings and personal preferences. The photographs of the icons, taken at the Andcross photo-studio, showcase the exquisite detail and luminous quality of each piece, highlighting the skillful craftsmanship that goes into their creation.

A Testament to Enduring Craftsmanship and Sacred Artistry
The creation of each Guardian Angel Icon is a labor of love and devotion.
