- Ancient Byzantine Gold Cabochon Carnelian Double Sided Cross, 6-7th Century A.D.Located in New York, NYThe shape and form of this rare cross is known as Thor's Cross or the Cross of Cuthbert, a Celtic Christian associated with the Kingdom of Northumbria and Southern Scotland. After his death, Cuthbert became the most revered saint of Northern England. His Feast Days are March 20 (Eastern Orthodox Church, Church of England), August 31 (Episcopal Church) and September 4 (Roman Catholic Church, Church of Wales). Ancient jewelry has an unparallel way of taking us to a time past, connecting the individual taste for the unusual with a certain mysticism associated with objects that are hundreds of years old. It sparks conversations about fascinating periods in history, artistic style elements and symbolic meanings. This rare double sided Byzantine gold and carnelian cross...Category

- Antique Silver Spanish Cross Pendant with Rock CrystalsLocated in Chicago, ILCross Pendant with Rock Crystals Spain or Portugal, late 17th - early 18th century Silver, gold, rock crystal Weight 9.1 gr.; Dimensions 56.3 × 38.8 mm. An elaborate and elegant cross pendant made of silver with rock crystals in closed settings. The center consists of a larger round gemstone surrounded by five irregular-shaped stones forming the cross. The openwork arms have a triangular shape and are formed of facetted rock-crystals in foliate settings. The obverse side of the cross consists of a layer of gold. An extension with two stones and an angular shaped frame is hooked into the pendant loop, probably to be worn on a velvet band. The pendant is in good, wearable condition. After the Reformation, cross pendants were worn mainly in Catholic countries by men, women, and children. During the seventeenth century, the designs became ever more intricate, and the crosses were often embellished with gemstones, such as rock crystals in this example. These were sourced along the Alpine regions of France, Switzerland, Austria, and Southern Germany. The stones gave the appearance of diamonds. The foliate settings are characteristic of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century jewelry made in Spain...Category
