Cross Bracelet
Chanel Maltese Cross Bracelet
The theme of Chanel 2009 Fall/Winter is Dandy Look which is renowned for sophisticated collar and cuff. To match it with a bracelet would not be a wise idea. Therefore, what’s the style of Chanel bracelet in coming season? Karl Lagerfeld continues his gorgeous Byzantine style. Thus a new Chanel Maltese Cross Bracelet was born.
The Maltese Cross is based on the sign used in Crusades, which is a symbol of knightly virtues, such as loyalty, sincerity, courage, honor. It can still be seen on the new Maltese Euro coins. It is an eight-pointed cross; the four arms are of equal length, widening slowly to end in doubled points. This Maltese Cross first appeared as a fashion design in the late 1920s. Chanel and Fulco di Verdura set out on a European tour for fresh inspiration. They visited fine jewelry museum collections and exhibitions and emerged from the tour excited about the recurring Byzantine pattern they saw. Soon after, Fulco created his revolutionary and now legendary brooch motifs, combining precious and semi-precious gemstones in asymmetrical patterns with different colors of gold. Fulco was eventually inspired to mount the brooches on a pair of cuffs he crafted for Chanel, thus defining the signature look she is most notably remembered by, and Verdura’s signature motif, the Maltese Cross, came to be.
The designers may not pay much attention on its religious meaning, but they use the traditional pattern ornamented with crystal, diamond and pearl, and then create gorgeous and majestic charm for the bracelet. Several decades has passed, the Maltese Cross design has been immortal classics in fashion world.

Black knotted bracelet with cross.. What does it mean?
My mum’s friend gave me a bracelet for my birthday. I know a few people who have the same bracelet and when I asked what it meant they said something about religion.
It’s a black knotted bracelet, with a small cross with equal arms. On one side of the cross is a symbol, looks kind of like a snowman or a jelly bean and the back has two words which I cannot see clearly.
I’m not particularly religious, so I’m not keen on it if it symbolizes Christianity.
Will someone please let me know what it means?
Thanks in advance
First you can relax bc a cross of equal arms is a wiccan/pagan kind of cross bc all corners are equal and knots sometime symbolize different meanings but it sounds pretty cool though. I would maybe try to take it someone for the other symbols…..good luck!
