Maltese Cross Buttons
Maltese Cross Buttons
The design called the Maltese Cross has actually been identified with the Knights of Malta, originally called the Order of Knights Hospitaller (white or silver on black background), and the Knights Templar (Red on White), also called the “Rosy Cross”.
The “Maltese Cross” is a symbol adapted today by many fire departments in the United States. The eight-point Maltese Cross is an international symbol of the fire service's willingness to make great sacrifices in order to protect others from the ravages of fire.
Since 1972, Quick Silver Mint has been creating authentic handmade medallions, which are available through their catalog and at festivals throughout the United States. Now, the designs are available here as buttons.
Each symbol, inspired by myth and legend, originates from ancient stone carvings, pottery, or other artifacts. Understanding these symbols may enhance your journey of self-discovery.
We have spent over 30 years researching and creating magical jewelry based on symbols worldwide. We are very proud to mint over 100 designs.
