used in modern day as a symbol of protection (firefighter’s badge), the maltese cross has a storied and rich history, dating back to the 12th century and the knights hospitaller, a catholic military order. we adapted this exquisite pendant- believed to feature a tiny ruby in its center and 6 miniscule pearls surrounding it- from a vintage screw-back earring. its delicacy is matched only by its regality.
