About the Item

This impressive antique cross pendant is crafted in solid 14K gold and set with richly faceted deep-red Bohemian garnets. Dating to the mid-to-late 19th century, it reflects the opulent style of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bohemian jewelry traditions, where garnets were highly prized for their brilliance and symbolic meaning. The cross showcases an ornate Baroque Revival or Rococo-inspired design, with elaborate gold scrollwork, openwork detailing, and delicate bead accents framing the rose-cut garnets. Its substantial size and intricate workmanship suggest it may have been worn as a devotional pendant or used in a ceremonial context, reflecting the strong Christian heritage of the period. This rare piece combines historical significance with decorative beauty, making it both a collectible jewel and a striking statement of 19th-century European craftsmanship.

Antique Spanish Ruby and 18 Karat Gold Chain Cross Pendant
Located in Rotterdam, NL
This stunning 18-karat gold filigree link-wired cross pendant, originating from Spain, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The cross is intricately made using delicate filigree wirework, where fine gold wires are twisted and shaped into an elaborate, lace-like design, typical of Spanish artisan jewelry. At the center of the cross sits a striking carré-cut ruby, its deep red hue providing a beautiful contrast to the golden filigree. The clean, sharp lines of the carré cut enhance the ruby’s brilliance, drawing the eye to the centerpiece of the pendant. In Spain, the cross is a deeply significant symbol, representing the country's long-standing Christian heritage. Historically, crosses have been used as symbols of faith, protection, and devotion. Spanish crosses often reflect the strong cultural and religious traditions of Catholicism, with designs ranging from simple, rustic styles to highly ornate, intricate pieces like this one. Cross pendants are frequently worn as both religious expressions and protective charms, signifying the wearer’s faith and connection to their spiritual beliefs. This 18-karat gold filigree cross...
