Jerusalem Cross (50 y.o., Mexico)

$170.00

I got this cross from my relatives and then enamelled it. Silver is getting tarnished quite fast and cleaning such a big piece of jewelry on regular basis is not fun, so jewelry-grade enamel not only brings the colours into this piece, but also protects the metal from oxidation.

Hot-enamelled by me.

The Jerusalem Cross has been a symbol of faith for centuries. Being one of the most recognizable emblems in the world, the Jerusalem cross has several interpretations. Some historians believe that the large cross represents Christ, while the four smaller crosses represent Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Others suggest that the symbol is a visualization of the gospel being spread to the four corners of the Earth. Some historians argue that the five crosses are indicative of the five wounds of Christ from His crucifixion.
