Graziano Cross Necklace....Maltese?

[retro-charm]

Happy Friday, Guys!!!

Would you call this a Maltese cross?

Any special keywords I should use when listing?

How should I describe the chain?

[rubiano98]

I'm not seeing anything Maltese about it. Maybe it's not even a cross, just a design with 4 lobes.

Thanks, Rubian...

Do you see the turqouise center as a cross?

[rubiano98]

Not really. The teardrop-shaped lobes are all the same size, which does not make me think of a cross.

Ok, thanks again, Rubian.

It's not quite a Maltese, but it's pretty close to a Bezant or Pomme.

I keep this page bookmarked in case I need to identify one.

I think at first glance most people will endeed see a 'design of a cross' (or 2 in this case) 

  In looking at the  Seyiaku cross site  (not gonna post it here as I got slapped last time I did for a reason that makes no sense as nothing is for sale!!) it does show some crosses with 4 equal 'sections'

But this is not an actual Maltese cross..based on the definition of those as they have 8 points. If you google rounded crosses..ya might find something similar.

But I`d have no problem referring to it as a cross..it`s lovely btw!

LOL  Ruth beat me to it!

Oh, wow, Thanks, Ruth!!! Awesome cross etc sight. 

It came up as an error but if you click on a tab it does work.

I'll bookmark it also. Thank you sooooo much!

Yes, I see the resemblance to the Pommee/Bezant cross.

This is an awesome sight. Had no idea there are so many

cross designs. 

Thanks, Sarah...I always appreciate your help.
