About Us

Welcome to Holy Face Cross, a division of Thomas James and Bechtold Jewelry, where tradition meets devotion. Established in 1902, our family-owned business has been deeply rooted in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota community, offering expert jewelry services and meticulously crafted religious pieces.

Thomas James, in 2014, received Ecclesiastical Approbation to work on sacred objects from His Excellency Bishop Swain †. As members of the League of St. Martin, Devotion to the Holy Face, under the Archconfraternity in Tours, France, and under the spiritual guidance of His Grace Archbishop Thomas E. Gullickson, we are committed to preserving our Traditional Catholic Faith.

Our dedication to our faith extends beyond our personal beliefs. We understand the challenges that Traditional Catholics face in these trying times, and we strive to provide a source of support and solace through our craft.

In addition to providing you with beautifully crafted religious jewelry, we are committed to giving back to our community. A portion of our proceeds will be donated to The Monastery of Our Mother of Mercy and St. Joseph, supporting the construction of their Chapel of the Holy Face.

By choosing Holy Face Cross, you are not only acquiring a meaningful piece of jewelry but also contributing to a worthy cause that shares our passion for preserving the Traditional Catholic Faith.
