The symbolism of crosses carries throughout the history of mankind. For some, the cross is just a geometric symbol, for others it is a symbol of the first crossed logs with a hole in the centre for making fire = a symbol of life. Outside of Christianity, the cross also symbolized the 4 cardinal points or the two planes of existence. You will also encounter them in the interpretation of the symbolism representing the 4 elements.

Since the 5th century, however, especially in Europe, crosses have been associated with Christians. Crosses were everywhere in the early Byzantine world. They marked religious, secular and domestic buildings, public works, clothing and jewelry, and household objects. The cross was a sign of Christ's victory over death and the hope of eternal life, and believers often attributed apotropaic or protective powers to it.

It is a great addition to your outfit even in these modern times, for casual wear, as a personal calming talisman.
