The three crosses on this necklace are the central part of the arms of the city of Amsterdam. Below the crosses you can see the words heroic, determined and merciful. Three great things to strive for. Try to be heroic by occasionally stepping out of your comfort zone, determined when it comes to what's good for you and compassionate towards others and towards yourself. The Metropolis necklace is available in both this silver as in a gold plated version.
