18 ct yellow gold brooch in the shape of the Cross of Saint James.

Weight: 3 g. It is said that this shape comes from the Crusades when the Knights would carry small sharp-edged crosses to be able to spike them into the ground and say their daily prayers The three fleurs-de-Lis represent unsoiled honour, referring to the moral traits of the nature of the Apostles. The sword represents the chivalrous nature of the apostle Saint James and his martyrdom as he was beheaded with a sword. It may also represent, in some way, taking up the sword in the name of Christ.
