<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4454758, member: 5398"]When I bought these earrings I'd never heard of a Jerusalem cross (or if I had, I didn't associate it with jewelry). I just thought they were unusual and looked like sterling silver. I learned the term "cannetile" on this forum, so I searched "cannetile cross" on eBay to see if I could find something similar, and that's when I discovered the correct term. Tonight I became curious about how a cross symbol would be called a Jerusalem cross and made in Jerusalem for tourists, so I googled Jerusalem cross and now I better understand the history behind it, although it seems kind of complicated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
