The Maltese Cross was officially adopted by the Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John in 1126. The eight points on the cross denote the eight obligations of the order of St. John, namely “to live in truth, have faith, repent one’s sins, give proof of humility, love justice, be merciful, be sincere and whole-hearted, and to endure.”
Crafted in 9 karat yellow gold, this Maltese cross pendant is made of two convex pieces joined together, creating a three dimensional piece. Wonderful to add to your 'neckmess' or as a statement charm at your wrist, it's a great, versatile trinket to add to your repertoire!
