Crucifixes first appeared in the 5th century but at that time the figure of Jesus was symbolized as a lamb. As well as gold and silver crosses and crucifixes on the Waldorf Elite web page you will also find other items of religious jewelry including the Sacred Heart Medallion and “ZION” Star of David
Zion is a term that most often describes Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. The shape of the Star of David is six-pointed geometric star figure a mixture of two equilateral triangles. This shape is called a hexagon. The hexagon shape has been used by other religions and is still used by the occult. During the Second World War the Jews were identified by the Germans with A Star of David. The star had the word Jude on it which was German for Jew and during the holocaust all Jews above the age of 6 were required to wear this star which was usually a yellow color. In other German-occupied areas the word Jew was inscribed on the star in the other areas language.
One of the most historical and culturally rich heart-shaped jewelry piece is the Irish Claddagh ring. This ring, which is always a heart held by two clasped hands topped with a crown, has stood for love, friendship, loyalty and faith for over 300 years.
It is interesting that traditionally the way that the Claddagh ring was worn symbolized which of the meanings of the ring it was intended. This tradition is not as closely followed as it was in the past, but if you want to wear the ring correctly you do need to know what you are indicating.
