This silver cross necklace or mens cross necklace is a heraldic cross.

Perhaps it would be be described as a cross over cross necklace design. Let's break down the symbolism. There is a center symbol of the cross with a much larger cross that has many of the same symbols as the Maltese cross.

The second larger cross symbol has loose Fleur de Lis (Lilly of France) design. At the end of each of the arms of the cross is a modified Fleur de Lys symbol. For each arm there is two sharp points, eight in all. The eight points represent the eight beatitudes.

Each arm has two sharp points and a round bump. Four times three is twelve which represents the Twelve Disciples.

The four arms of the cross represents the four gospels. The modified Fleur de Lis end cap represent the Holy Trinity.

Cross jewelry for men are not just big and masculine, but they also have some deep symbolism in the case of this mens cross necklace.
