Symbols are all around us, but how often do we question when or where a specific symbol originated from? We’re so inspired by the Maltese cross that we wanted to highlight this ancient religious symbol and give it the honor it deserves.  Our jewelry collections range from modern to antique inspired, so we’ve included a few of our favorite pieces in addition to some for inspiration via Pintrest!

By the way…

the Maltese cross is steeped in rich tradition…here are a few of the feelings and meanings surrounding this precious cross we’ve found to be interesting:

Respect

Holy devotion

Compassion

Bravery

Honor

Fearlessness

Humanitarianism

Loyalty

Cher is a huge lover of the Maltese cross, and who can blame her, each cross is painstakingly crafted with precision and true artistry!

Have a treasure filled day…

Crosses have been worn for centuries as art, symbolism, faith and for their beauty…

For many of the Christian faith, the cross is the choice of personal adornment. There are
many different types and styles of cross necklaces ranging from simple polished
styles to extremely embellished designs. One of the most popular is the Maltese cross style
that has accents or focal points of cyrstals, diamond or precious stones!

 We’ve done our research and have highlighted a few her that represent some of the most sought after that we could find from antique shops, estate sales and some that we carry in our online jewelry boutique at savings up to 75% off retail!

Some people gravitate toward a more elaborate and ornate encrusted cross look, which we love! The versatility of the clear stones make our pieces wearable for year and years to come!  We love to hear stories of how our customers hand down their pieces they’ve purchased from us to their daughters, nieces and cousins!  It’s a true testament to our talented stylist how all ages look and feel great in our pieces! We’re SO grateful to be able to experience that with our customers and their families!

So, with all of the many ways you can interpret and wear this timeless symbol, we hope that you’ll find a way to incorporate one or more into your look and pick up a timeless piece for the someone you love, they’ll always remember it was you who started off their CROSS collection!

In great health and joy, TDL!
