Antique Byzantine Style Sterling Silver Amethyst Cross Pendant
About the Item
Fine antique sterling silver Byzantine style hand crafted organically shaped cross pendant with a rectangular amethyst center framed by two rows of granulation work, the arms decorated with a beautifully detailed pattern of graduated circles and minute triangles composed of very fine granules.
In jewelry, granulation technique refers to a type of decoration in which tiny grains of gold or silver are applied one by one to a surface. Examples of this type of work date as far back as ancient Egypt and Western Asia. Ancient Etruscans and Greeks were especially keen on the technique, producing masterpieces of jewelry which can be viewed in the world's most prominent museums.
