We asked our jeweler in Croatia to design for our store a pair of Croatian PLETER (braid) Earrings...which resulted in these perfectly elegant earrings that we are now able to offer here at Heart of Croatia Gifts! The design is impeccable and I'm sure you will agree that these are very stylish and certainly VERY CROATIAN!

NOW these earrings are made with a more slenderized French hook, making them far more comfortable to wear!

The Pleter Cross dates from the 8th Century when the Pope presented Croatia with its own specially-designed cross. This type of jewelry is both a celebration of Christianity and of Croatia! 

They are about .5 inch in width and length and they hang about an inch and a quarter long.

These pleter earrings come in a gift box along with a card telling about the history and importance of the "pleter" as a cultural and religious tradition in Croatia.
