Jill Garber Antique Austro Hungarian Cross Necklace with Turquoise and Amethyst
About the Item
At the center of this refined Bohemian necklace is an iconic mid 1800's Austro Hungarian amethyst and turquoise Bishop's cross measuring 2.88" ( including bale) . Bejeweled with old rose cut Amethyst combined with turquoise cabochons, each mounting has lovely pinch back detail. Characteristic of fine Austro Hungarian jewelry is the engraved filigree underside or back. Our neck chain design had to stand alone and be worthy of the cross, so we crafted six Rococo style drops that combine deep purple Amethyst cabochons with natural blue green turquoise. An elegant beaded frame surrounds each beautiful drop. The overall length of this necklace is 19.50 inches, plus the 2.88 inch cross with jeweled bale.
"Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, clearly demonstrates the important role of religious art and artifacts in the international design and style world. This glorious necklace makes a rather divine statement piece for any occasion.
The second Amethyst Bishops cross necklace in last images of this listing, is also available in our storefront. We think these look amazing together.
Amethyst has been one of the world's most revered stones for many centuries. Found in Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Canada, Russia, the USA and Europe, this stone has a rich history that many civilizations have placed in high value. Many believe that the Amethyst crystal was synonymous with luxury. As such it was highlighted in crowns, scepters and rings, Christian Bishops once wore Amethyst rings because its purple color was meant to symbolize royalty and an allegiance to Christ.
