[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 392052, member: 2844"]I'm with Fid, a simplified Huguenot cross that has lost its spirit.;) The dove dangle (Holy Spirit/Ghost) was lost and someone with no knowledge of the Huguenot background decided to replace it with any old silver dangle. Originally it would have looked like this: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.olga-jewelshop.nl%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fcache%2F1%2Fimage%2F9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95%2Fh%2Fu%2Fhugenoot-kruisje-m-groot-2.jpg&sp=98f39e5da410b18a069dffbf3ed9aac5[/IMG] You see them a lot here, many Huguenots fled to the Netherlands when they were persecuted in France in the 16th century. Here it is often worn as a symbol of Huguenot cultural identity rather than religion.[/QUOTE]
