Wear the sign of Saint Francis every day. These Franciscan Tau cross earrings are handmade in Italy by skilled craftsmen in 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium-plated finish — a modern cut, thin and light, sold as a pair and blessed by Pope Leo XIV.
Size: 0.4" (1 cm)
Material: Rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver

Saint Francis of Assisi adopted the Tau as his personal emblem after hearing Pope Innocent III speak about the symbol, and Saint Anthony of Egypt bore it on his cloak centuries earlier. Today the Tau remains the mark of the Franciscan Order — a quiet sign of simplicity and peace at your ear.
