The four Greek alphabet 'Beta' represents the King (Βασιλιάς in Greek), whose power extends to all the four corners of the Kingdom. In their origin as letters beta on the cross of the Palaeologan dynasty, they are commonly assumed to represent the motto "Basileus Basileōn, Basileuōn Basileuontōn" (βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, βασιλεύων βασιλευόντων), meaning "King of Kings, Ruling Over Kings".
The tetragrammic cross remains the most recognizable symbol of Orthodoxy and imperial state today.

Care instructions
Sterling silver jewellery may tarnish - or blacken over time. This is a normal reaction of silver when exposed to the air. In order to help prevent this, please store your jewelry where possible in its original box, and clean it carefully from time to time using a soft silver cleaning cloth, or apply a mild soap using a soft brush. Dry thoroughly.
Contact with strong chemicals such as perfumes and deodorants should also be avoided as these may affect your jewellery.
