The Good Shepherd Cross: Pope Francis’ Legacy in Yellow Gold Jewelry by Nicols

Today, we wish to pay tribute to a man who touched our era with humility, faith, and closeness: Pope Francis, whose passing has deeply moved all of us who believe in a Church that is simple and true.

Francis was a Pope who spoke through actions. And one of his most powerful gestures was his choice to wear, day after day, a modest Good Shepherd Cross. This symbol, humble in form but immense in meaning, has become a spiritual reference for many… and for us, an inspiration to create religious jewelry in yellow gold that celebrates faith with authenticity.

Yellow Gold and Faith: An Eternal Alliance

The Good Shepherd Cross worn by the Pope may not have been crafted from noble metals, but its message has been etched into the hearts of millions. From our workshop, we chose to honour him by crafting pieces in yellow gold, the metal that since biblical times has represented divinity, light, and eternity.

Every piece we design — whether a cross, a medal, a pendant, or an alliance — is created to be a testament of faith. And it is precisely the alliance between spirituality and art that guides us. Because at Nicols, we do not simply create beautiful objects, we create symbols of union: alliances between generations, between heaven and earth, between love and eternity.

A Legacy Beyond the Vatican

The Vatican has always been a source of inspiration for Catholic jewelry, but with Francis, that legacy took a different path — one that is more human, more intimate. He reminded us that faith is not in grandeur, but in small, sincere gestures. “The true strength of the Church does not lie in its power, but in its ability to love.” These were his words — and we believe them.

That is why our collections of Catholic jewelry in yellow gold are designed to accompany daily life with both beauty and meaning. They are pieces that not only honour the divine but also forge a personal alliance with our values.

Alliances, Crosses, and Medals That Tell Stories

From wedding alliances to pendants and medals featuring the image of the Good Shepherd, at Nicols we take care of every detail so that each piece is truly unique. We do so with the conviction that a piece of jewelry can also be a prayer, a memory, a promise. And in each design, yellow gold is the golden thread that connects our tradition to the present.
