Deus Vult, God wills it: the cry that launched the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095, engraved here beside the cross pattée, the emblem worn by the Knights Templar as a mark of faith and belonging.
This shield-shaped pendant is available in three luthier-grade woods, seasoned and selected with the same care I use to choose wood for building my instruments: walnut, swamp ash, and padauk.
The pendant is entirely handcrafted: the cross and inscription are laser engraved with precision, while the natural vegetable oil finish protects the wood over time without covering the grain in synthetic varnish. The adjustable paracord with a sliding knot completes the piece.
It's a piece made for those who carry medieval history in their blood, drawn to crusader and chivalric imagery. Also a fitting gift for anyone who loves history, heraldry, and Templar symbolism.
