  • Beautiful!

  • Gorgeous! Is the number four significant? Four directions on the compass perhaps?

  • I am not aware of any number related meaning other than these necklaces do very often come with four crosses

    The compass and four directions idea is tempting

  • I have one with four crosses as well, and  I have been wondering about the significance.

  • Love them, I always wanted to have such a complete Piece.  I only have the parts - the complete necklace got too expensive on Ebay auctions........Very nice!
