Joan of Arc Symbols

Joan of Arc and her symbols represent resistance to oppression and the fight for freedom. Joan was a military leader in 15th Century France who acted under divine guidance to lead the French army over Britain during the Hundred Years' War. She fought against doubters and Christian persecution fulfilling the visions that God gave her.

Joan of Arc Banners Meaning

There are several heraldic banners associated with Joan of Arc. At her trial in 1431, Jeanne D'Arc described the banner she carried during battle with the following words:

“I had a banner of which the field was sprinkled with lilies; the world was painted there, with an angel at each side; it was white of the white cloth called boccassin; there was written above it, I believe, JHESUS MARIA; it was fringed with silk.”


Joan of Arc Coat of Arms Meaning

Because of her remarkable actions, Charles VII granted her family arms and nobility. The arms were: "Azure a sword per pale argent hilted or between a crown in chief and two fleurs-de-lys of the last."

Cross of Lorraine Meaning

The Cross of Lorraine with one vertical and two horizontal bars is a heraldic cross that was used by the Dukes of Lorraine. This cross is the standard of Joan of Arc and related to the Crusader’s cross, a.k.a. Jerusalem cross in that the Cross of Lorraine was carried to the Crusades by the original Knights Templar, granted to them for their use by the Patriarch of Jerusalem.

Antique or Vintage Rosary

The crucifixes and centers in the Sacred Art Jewelry collection are true golden bronze and .925 sterling silver reproductions of authentic antique or vintage pieces from all over the world.

They are new, top quality castings that are hand crafted using the ancient lost wax method. This technique, employed by the Greeks and the Egyptians, is still used in fine jewelry and considered the best way to assure each medal is an exact replica of the original.

The pieces you will find may be Irish, French, Spanish, Russian, as well as Native American, Latin American or Philippine, etc. A great many different Christian cultures and nationalities are represented.

Traditional Chained Rosary Technique

At Sacred Art Jewelry, we prefer to use the traditional rosary making technique of using ring caps to prevent the chain links from opening. These metal ring bead caps provide a sort of a "fence" that supports the wire. It also provides a most elegant finish to the chained rosary.

Choose your crucifix and center rosary components individually or visit our Rosary Parts section to find a crucifix and center rosary set you will cherish for a lifetime. By choosing your rosary components from this section you will be sure the two parts are a good match in terms of weight, style, design as well as the theme they evoke.

Medals and Medallions

Attaching medals of saints or any personal devotion to rosaries is an ancient tradition. We have a wide variety of Catholic and Christian medals we’ll be happy to attach to your rosary. Just send a note with your order letting us know which medallions you would like, and we’ll insert them to the rosary free of charge.

Other Christian Rosary Beads

This is a traditional Catholic five (5) decade rosary. However, we’ll be glad to create a different chaplet or Protestant version of this rosary for Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptists or other Catholic devotees by using the prayer bead composition or design structure of your choice and substituting the metal pieces you choose. We have a wide variety of antique and vintage crosses, centerpieces and medals in our collections where you will find appropriate pieces you'll love for your design.

Rosary Beads for Men

Of course, all the pieces in our collections are suitable for both men and women, in the end it is a matter of taste and preferences. Typically, men’s rosaries are characterized by more linear, less ornate designs. Women’s rosary parts are usually more decorated with elaborate scrolls, flowers, and the like.

Rosary Necklace

Can your rosary be worn as a necklace? Rosary beads have been worn around the neck by both men and women from different cultures for centuries, and indeed designed and created to be worn as jewellery. Whether right or wrong, who are we to judge? This has been made a topic of controversy in recent years, but it can be argued that ultimately what matters is the respect with which the object is treated, the intention, and the occasions for which it is worn.
