Hand made gold plated ecclesiastical cuff links
In Eastern Christianity, the most widely used Christogram is a four-letter abbreviation, ΙCΧC — a traditional abbreviation of the Greek words for "Jesus Christ" (i.e., the first and last letters of each of the words ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ — written "ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ" with the lunate sigma "C" common in medieval Greek).
On icons, this Christogram may be split: "ΙC" on the left of the image and "ΧC" on the right, most often with a bar above the letters, indicating that it is a sacred name. It is sometimes rendered as "ΙCΧC ΝΙΚΑ", meaning "Jesus Christ Conquers." "ΙCΧC" may also be seen inscribed on the Ichthys. In the traditional icon of Christ Pantokrator, Christ's right hand is shown in a pose that represents the letters ΙC, Χ, and C.
