About the Item

This beautiful cross is a perfect example of the ‘Jeannette’ cross which was a specific style of cross that was popular during the Georgian period (1770’s-1830’s) in France. At the center of the cross is a dove, which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. An integral part of the design is the biggest bang for one’s buck. They were designed to be as big as possible using the materials that one could afford. The average example was gold-plated silver however, there were many solid gold examples, including this cross. Being a malleable metal, a little gold can go a long way. The exact cross is a statement piece with a length of 7cm (2.75 inches) and a width of 5cm (1.96 inches). The weight is 3 grams of 14k rose gold. There are multiple hallmarks from the maker and that dates the piece to the first half of the 19th century. The condition is very good for an item of this age, with only slight signs of use.
