A little history… The Basque cross is a jewelry motif widely featured in the jewelry world, composed of four commas. In Basque, the Basque cross is called Lauburu, meaning "cross with four heads." The earliest known depiction of this motif dates back to 1690. Many have tried to decode the meaning of the Basque cross: some associate the four commas with the four seasons, while others interpret them as the four provinces of the Basque Country. Numerous theories have been put forward, yet no definitive answer has ever been found. The Basque cross has nonetheless remained the symbol of the Basque people since 1950.
