So what is the origin of cross jewelry, handmade cross rings, handmade jewelry crosses, cross necklaces and the sort? Well, a cross is a geometrical figure that consists of two lines that are perpendicular to each other; they divide one or two of the lines in half. Usually the lines run both horizontally and vertically.
The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used in the religion of Christianity, in which case it is known as a crucifix. The reason for this is because Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on the cross.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia:
The cross as a Christian symbol or "seal" came into use at least as early as the second century (see "Apost. Const." iii. 17; Epistle of Barnabas, xi.-xii.; Justin, "Apologia," i. 55-60; "Dial. cum Tryph." 85-97); and the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons (Tertullian, "De Corona," iii.; Cyprian, "Testimonies," xi. 21–22; Lactantius, "Divin? Institutiones," iv. 27, and elsewhere). Accordingly the Christian Fathers had to defend themselves, as early as the second century, against the charge of being worshipers of the cross, as may be learned from Tertullian, "Apologia," xii., xvii., and Minucius Felix, "Octavius," xxix. Christians used to swear by the power of the cross (see Apocalypse of Mary, viii., in James, "Texts and Studies," iii. 118).
