The Banestre Cross Bracelet draws its inspiration from medieval heraldry and the enduring symbolism of the cross. The design is based upon the cross displayed on the heraldry associated with Sir Thomas Banastre, a medieval knight whose name forms part of the inspiration behind Banestre Crafting World and Just Longbows.
Throughout the Middle Ages, heraldic devices were used to identify knights, noble families and military retinues upon the battlefield. The cross became one of the most recognisable symbols in medieval Europe, appearing on shields, banners, surcoats and seals. Its simple, bold form allowed it to be recognised at a distance while carrying both personal and cultural significance.
This bracelet reinterprets that historic symbol in beadwork form. The repeating cross motifs create a distinctive pattern that reflects the structure and symmetry of traditional heraldic design while remaining elegant enough for everyday wear.
Available in four contrasting colourways, each version retains the same historic inspiration while offering its own character. Whether chosen for its medieval connections, its symbolism, or simply its striking appearance, the Banestre Cross Bracelet represents the meeting of heritage and craftsmanship.
