Gothic Cross Black Stingray Biker Wallet with Pearl Eye
SKU: 2487
A single white oval occupies the center of this wallet's front, and everything surrounding it is black. The cross it belongs to is cut from beaded stingray and extends almost to the perimeter of the panel. It is stitched into smooth black leather that carries no beads whatsoever. That oval is the ray's own pearl, the cluster of larger beads that develops along its spine. It is the only light-colored element on the Gothic Cross Black Stingray Biker Wallet.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want the cross without the shine — the whole cross is black stingray. From across a room it registers as texture rather than a white emblem, and only the pearl oval catches light. Best for anyone who considered the white pearl cross wallets too conspicuous.
If you show your ID often — a transparent window occupies the left panel and faces you the moment the wallet opens. Card slots stack above it. A license remains readable through the window without being removed.
If coins end up loose in your jacket — a zippered pocket runs vertically down the right-hand panel inside. Coins and a spare key remain behind the zipper instead of migrating into the bill compartments. Best for card-and-coin carry in one wallet.
What It's Like to Carry (The Honest Take)
Two surfaces meet on the front panel, and they feel nothing alike. The stingray cross is hard and granular, hundreds of tiny domes packed edge to edge, cool against a fingertip. The leather around it is smooth, with a slightly waxy finish. A single line of stitching follows the outline of the cross, and that seam marks precisely where one surface ends and the other begins.
In low light the cross virtually disappears into the body, black on black. Bring it into daylight and the beads return hundreds of minute points of light while the smooth leather remains flat and matte. The cross appears as scattered reflection in the shape of a cross rather than as a color. The pearl oval remains white in either condition.
Inside, the lining is black cowhide, smooth and noticeably softer than the front. Card slots stack on both interior panels. A clear ID window sits on the left. The zip pocket runs vertically on the right, beside a maker's stamp pressed into the leather. Two bill compartments run behind them with a divider between. Notes on one side, receipts on the other.
In every other respect this is a conventional bifold. There is no snap, no grommet and no ring; the only metal on the entire wallet is the zipper pull inside. Many cross wallets in this range arrive with chain hardware. This one is intended to travel in a pocket on its own.
Heads up: with no grommet or ring anywhere on the outside, there is nothing here to attach a chain to. If you always ride with a chain, select one of the grommeted cross wallets linked below instead.
The Specs — And What They Actually Mean
- ⚙️ Cross: black stingray, cut as a flared Gothic cross and stitched into the front panel. The beaded hide is the hardest-wearing surface on the wallet and covers the majority of the face.
- 💎 Pearl: one white oval at the center of the cross — the ray's natural spine marking, not pigment or a separate stone. Its exact outline varies from wallet to wallet.
- 💳 Card slots: 10, stacked on both panels, plus a clear ID window on the left. A full card load, with the license visible without being removed.
- 🔧 Coin pocket: zip-closed, running down the right-hand panel inside. Coins and a spare key remain in place, and the zipper pull is the only metal on the wallet.
- 📦 Bill compartments: two, split by a divider — cash on one side, receipts on the other.
- 🛡️ Body and lining: smooth black leather outside, black cowhide inside, stitched around the perimeter and around the cross.
Questions You're Probably Asking
How do you tell the cross from the body when both are black?
By texture and by the stitch line. The cross is beaded stingray, so it is granular and catches light in hundreds of tiny points. The smooth leather surrounding it remains flat. A single row of stitching follows the outline of all 4 arms, and the white pearl oval identifies the center from any distance.
What is on each side when the wallet opens?
The left panel carries stacked card slots above a clear ID window, so a license faces you the moment the wallet opens. The right panel carries additional card slots beside a vertical zippered coin pocket. Two bill compartments run behind them, split by a divider. 10 card slots in total, all inside a black cowhide lining.
Is this the same wallet as the black bifold with the white pearl cross?
No. On that wallet the cross is a single band of white pearl about 1.5 inches wide. The body surrounding it is stingray throughout. Here the entire cross is black stingray with one white oval at its center. It is set into smooth black leather and reaches almost from edge to edge of the front panel.

| Technical Detail | What It Actually Does for You |
|---|---|

| White pearl oval | The ray's natural spine marking at the center of the cross — the only light-colored element on the wallet. |
| Smooth black leather body | Keeps the exterior quiet, so the cross registers as texture rather than a badge. |
| 10 card slots + clear ID window | Capacity for a full card load, with the license readable through the window on the left panel. |
| Zip coin pocket, right panel | Coins and a spare key stay behind a zip; the pull is the only metal on the wallet. |
| Two bill compartments with divider | Cash and receipts kept separate instead of accumulating in one stack. |
| Black cowhide lining | Softer than the front, so cards slide easily once the slots have loosened. |
