Page 2 of 2 В Christian Jewelry: Notable Jewels Throughout recorded history, Christian jewelry has been an important display of mankind's strong belief in a better life that's everlasting in Heaven. The Jerusalem cross pendant said to be worn by Godfrey de Bouillon, who lead the Christians to victory by capturing Jerusalem in 1099. It later became the symbol of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, which was established after the first Crusade until 1291 when the last remaining territory of the kingdom was taken from the Christians. Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Emperor, had one of the most famous pieces of Christian jewelry. His notable pendant was said to include pieces from the True Cross and the crown of thorns under a sapphire set with gold. It was said that he referred to his pendant as "Warrior" because he often wore it into battle. Christian jewelry is found today in one of the finest collections in the world...the Crown Jewels. The image of the cross is found repeatedly in royal jewelry collections because it symbolizes the monarchy's power and connection with God for over a thousand years. Historically, the Sovereigns who sat on the throne believed wholly that they are anointed by God's own hand and are given the divine right of kings to rule their people.
