The ineffable nuances that separate jewelry that most woman wear from what Mrs. Bowers would be seen with is a subject almost as close to me as Jesus. One of the great lessons of life is that if one is resourceful enough, everything can be parlayed into a reason for quality jewelry.
Religion is certainly no exception.
Regrettably, the focal design of our particular religion happens to be a device of state-sanctioned human execution. Not what I would have chosen, but we are left by God to work with it. Now, to your question. The answer would appear self-evident to all but Marilyn Manson fans and Catholics. For my taste, while a simple cross coyly alludes to torture, anything more graphic seems to morbidly delight in the specifics and generally ruin the geometric pleasures of the unadorned cross.
