About this design
What the design shows
A large red cross with flared ends occupies the center of an ornate round frame. Four smaller red crosses sit in the corner spaces, each outlined in gold and held inside its own pale square panel. A gold ring circles the emblem, opening into pointed diamonds at the top, bottom, and sides. Teal leaves and curled gold scrolls fill the spaces between those diamonds, while four round ruby-red stones sit at the upper, lower, left, and right frame points. Black outlines separate the red facets, gold edges, and green decorative leaves. The frame is nearly as wide as it is tall, with all corners mirrored around the central cross. In the on-skin preview, the emblem is about palm width at the upper chest center, with the top diamond aimed between the collarbones.

Placement
Placement and size
The round frame sits well at the upper chest center because its four cardinal diamonds can align vertically and horizontally with the body. At about palm width it also fits the upper back, outer shoulder, upper arm, or center of the thigh. Make the top and bottom diamonds follow a true body midline. If reduced, simplify the small corner crosses and teal scrollwork before narrowing the central red cross.
Patchwork
Building it into a patchwork
This is a dense colored emblem with strong gold edging and a circular boundary, so it reads as a self-contained centerpiece. Small jewels, narrow leaf curls, or short rays can extend beyond the four diamond points. Avoid pressing another framed object against its gold ring. A clear band of skin around the circle gives the teal leaves and red stones room to stay distinct from other traditional color pieces.
Small pieces that pair with it
- A small ruby dot above the top gold diamond
- A teal leaf curl beside the left frame point
- A tiny gold sparkle below the lower diamond
