Maltese Cross Men

The Maltese Cross is known as the symbol of an order of Christian warriors known as the the Knights of Malta.  The cross is eight-pointed and is based on crosses used since the First Crusade.  The eight points are said to symbolise the eight points of courage:

1. Loyalty
2. Piety
3. Frankness
4. Bravery
5. Glory and honour
6. Contempt of death
7. Helpfulness towards the poor and the sick
8. Respect for the Church

Now, all you need is a Maltese falcon to hang it on!  Short of that, this piece will look great on you and gets lots of attention.  It's definitely cool.  The Cross is hand carved bone from Indonesia and the 18 inch chain is hand made in northern Thailand from silver that is about 98% pure fine silver.  Closes with a large sterling silver lobster clasp.
