14k White Gold Citrine Maltese Cross Earrings

These elegant earrings are designed in a contemporary Maltese cross motif. The four curved arms of the cross are ornately sculpted in gleaming sterling silver, 14k White or Yellow gold, which complements the earrings’ principal feature—the smooth gorgeous citrine cabochons. They are bezel-set for security and the earrings fasten with French wires. For a finishing touch, consider adding the matching Maltese cross ring and the pendant.

The Maltese cross is one of the national symbols of the Mediterranean Island of Malta and is now a symbol of heroism, bravery or leadership; the meaning of the eight points of the Maltese Cross are said to have been given by Jesus Christ. The eight points of the cross stand for:
Live in Truth
Have Faith
Be Sincere and Live without Malice
Helpfulness to the Sick and the Poor
Love Justice
Be Merciful
Endure Persecution, Courage
Piety
The citrine gemstone is a beautiful type of yellow quartz and is a November birthstone; citrine is known as a stone of proteCtion, removing negative energy and promoting spiritual development. So whether you have a November birthday or want citrine for psychic awareness, or are looking for a beautiful gemstone as a gift for a special occasion, or love the color yellow, these earrings will fill the bill.

Care
To clean, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Never use chemicals such as hydrofluoric acid or ammonium fluoride because they can erode citrine. After cleaning, dry and polish with a chamois or soft cloth. Citrine should be kept away from prolonged exposure to extremes of heat and light as this can cause permanent color change.

With the rising price of sterling silver this is, quite simply, a good investment all around.
