Ruby pearl necklace adorned with a Templar Cross. A symbol of faith, wisdom, and chivalry.

At the center of this cross, the circular medallion bears the Latin motto Sigillum Militum Xpisti surrounding the red pattee cross on a pristine background, a historic mark of devoted chivalry and uncompromising courage. The arms of the cross are enhanced by Celtic interlace whose continuous knots symbolize fraternal alliance and eternal fidelity to one’s oath.

Worn close to the skin, this jewel transmits to its wearer the steadfastness of mind and the dignity of great orders of knighthood. It imparts a constant determination in the face of challenges, reminding of the value of moral righteousness and guiding its wearer with assurance and authority.

The Pattee Cross and the Temple Insignia: The Knights’ Oath attributed to the Templars in the 12th century by Pope Eugene III, the red pattee cross symbolizes absolute courage and the will to prevail light over injustice.
