Finely polished 14k solid white gold Maltese cross pendant. Gold Cross measures 3/4" x 3/4". Measures 1" with bail/hoop combo. Weighs approx. 5.0 grams. The Maltese cross has a long history. It has been associated with the Order of Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the "Knights Hospitaller." This order began with the establishment of a hospital in Jerusalem, and has long been associated with care-giving, but also took on military duties, eventually becoming a powerful, military force with vast properties and great wealth. Today, in the US, the Maltese Cross is also used as a symbol by firefighters (Christianity.About.Com)"
