This piece of beauty is absolutely handmade with précised fine lines done to perfection. That makes the ring very attractive and gives a different look from all the other standard pieces of jewelry out there on the market. There is a very detailed and an intricately designed frame strictly hand engraved which makes the ring an extremely rare and attractive piece. There is the Maltese cross on the face of the ring, in Italy also known as the Amalfi cross, is the cross symbol associated with the Knights Hospitaller (the Knights of Malta). The cross is eight-pointed and has the form of four “V”-shaped elements, each joining the others at its vertex, leaving the other two tips spread outward symmetrically. Its design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade. It is also the modern symbol of Amalfi, (a small Italian republic of the 11th century). On both sides and all around the frame there is the symbol of “Fleur De Lis” precisely engraved by hand, which represents the Trinity of the Brotherhood. Since France is a historically Catholic nation, the fleur-de-lis became "at one and the same time, religious, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic", especially in French heraldry. It is particularly associated with the French monarchy in a historical context.
