Wow I find that fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

Jesus wasn't crucified on any of those.
Whether it was a Capital T or a small t shape, I think the concept is grasped.He wasn't crucified on a a piece of jewellery anyway according to the Christian faith.
Anyway, early Christians used the symbol of the fish as their faith icon. The cross was later adopted.
Some scholars point towards the crufixion happening on a pole or the T shape (Crux Commissa).

The cross is a symbol Christians use to identify themselves with Christ as well as to remind ourselves and other things. We wouldn't be identified as a Christian by anything in the picture you posted.
As well a Christian has a deep relationship with the cross and it's symbolism. It means our salvation, our redemption. It's a very personal image and there's nothing more interesting to us than the death that Jesus suffered in the cross. It's infinitely interesting in its own, and the more the image represents the cross the better of an image it becomes.
Not trying to come off strong, just trying to explain why Christians prefer a traditional cross.
Thank you!I'm sorry, I will pray for you and your mother.

You must also realise there are other cultures who adhere to Christianity that have their own traditional crosses which represent their faith too. For example the Tuareg cross as above (although most Tuareg are Muslim now, it still has cultural roots), the Coptic Ethiopian and Egyptian cross, the Berber cross and various others, who were adhering to Christianity before it even reached Western Europe.
These all form up part of the identity and history of Christianity. You're reasoning seems culturally ignorant.

@EyesOfKohl has a point. The heritage of Christianity is an intricate tapestry; looking from a distance, we can see that Jesus was foretold by prophets, was born of a Virgin, suffered, died, and was raised, and will come to judge the living and the dead. Looking closer will reveal the multifaceted expressions of that faith. And one of these, I reckon, would be these Tuareg crosses.You're right, he wasn't crucified on a piece of jewellery. However, (and I cannot speak for all Christians) Christians usually wear these symbols as a reminder for them when out in public. Our faith alone is in Jesus.
We don't put our faith in scholars, but in Jesus who is (to us) the Son of God.
No one is attacking or saying anything against other cultures. Only a statement of faith was commented.
