Circular bezel with the four-point Star of Bethlehem superimposed with radials in the quarters, signifying a saltire or cross. The custom of baptizing infants originated in the second century with the evolution of the concept of Original Sin. Rings for infants were surely a luxury reserved for the noble class.
