Our Mariners Cross is a stylized version of the Latin cross used in Christianity with an Anchor/Cross featuring 2 actual globes of the world representing the ancient seven seas early mariners sailed, attaching the globes to the cross arm are eagle talons a subtle but impactful representation of the strength and might of our nation, and America's exceptionalism throughout the globe, with hand lashed rope connecting the cross to the anchor completing the base to tie in numerous additional Maritime elements, including a Ships wheel, a Rose or Wind Compass, hung by a working pin and shackle. 

The “Mariner’s Cross“, also known as the “Anchored Cross” or  “St. Clement’s Cross” for the patron saint of sailors, many of whom wear the cross to protect themselves from the dangers at sea. These different versions of the Mariners cross have meaning to individuals who’ve adorn them for centuries. The Anchored Cross is also worn as a talisman by sailors of many navies and fishermen who believe that wearing that it will protect them from harm until they return safely to port. It’s a popular symbol for jewelry and it’s also used in heraldry, featured on the flags and the coats of arms of several countries including Sweden, Leon, Spain, and Tallinn, Estonia. 

While a large number of mean and women who wear the Anchored Cross are unaware of its origin and symbolism,  they continue to be worn in various ways representing seamanship and adoration for the sea. Mariner’s Cross jewelry remains an important symbol of hope, new beginnings, rebirth, and security for Mariners worldwide, as well a spiritual representation of such to Catholics and Christians. Like all symbols, the true meaning lays with that individual in you… what it means to you is what matter most and our intent is the capture the essence of the symbolic meaning and create a unique form for you carry with you throughout your earthly journey on land and sea.
