Let yourself be drawn in by this beautiful Huguenot cross crafted in 375/1000 yellow gold (9K). Also known as the Protestant cross, the Huguenot cross is a Protestant symbol originating from the south of France. It closely resembles the Cross of Saint John and the Cross of the Order of the Holy Spirit. It measures 26 mm in height and 15 mm in width, with a total weight of 1.40 grams. The bail adds a length of 8 mm.

The perfect gift for a birth, a baptism, or a first communion.

The Huguenot cross is believed to have been created around 1688, following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, by a goldsmith from Nîmes named Maystre. Louis XIV had forbidden Protestants from wearing any religious insignia; in an act of defiance, they adopted the fleur-de-lis Maltese cross as their own. The dove, for its part, represents the Holy Spirit - a symbol of the Christian's relationship with God.
