Crosses & Anchors

Inspiration

Blackened 925 Sterling silver, black zirconia stones and striking symbolism: the cross and anchor pendants from THOMAS SABO are the perfect accessories for the man of today. Classic symbols are linked with rock 'n' roll elements such as the Skull or Dragon and fuse to produce the unmistakable THOMAS SABO Rebel at heart style.

 

Individual combination ideas

 

The gentlemen's jewellery from the Rebel at heart line goes perfectly with rough Sterling silver chains, with the black bead chain of obsidian and with masculine leather bracelets in brown or black. Worn short or long – the cross and anchor pendants always radiate a hint of fashionable audacity and attract the gaze of all. Gentlemen's rings in rivet design or with various Rebel at heart symbols, such as the sword, the skull or the winged hearts¸ are finished with a love of detail. The striking obsidian bracelets with noble silver beads round off the rock 'n' roll look and harmonise perfectly.

Protective talismen for everyday wear

 

The profound symbolism of the anchor and cross transforms the individual items of jewellery into protective talismen of a special kind: the anchor has its origins in seafaring and in general points to the question of what is our anchor in life, what gives us a firm footing. It is also a symbol of hope, constancy, loyalty and confidence. Since it moors and secures a ship and is also used to manoeuvre it, the anchor symbolises divine help against the storms of time. At the same time the anchor with the crossbeam under the ring was, in the times of Christian persecution, a secret sign for the cross. In the Middle Ages the anchor symbol disappeared. From the 15th century on it appeared again in isolated cases as a symbol of hope and was subsequently assigned to one of the three divine virtues.

 

The cross has since served as a symbol of Christianity. But even in the ancient history of man the cross was a cult object and is said to go right back to the Stone Age. In Christianity the vertical beam symbolises the relationship between God and man. The horizontal beam of the cross represents the relationship between individuals. It stands for peace and redemption.
