About the Item

Cross Pendant set with fine diamonds and gemstones. Seemingly at random in a juxtaposition, thirty eight white diamonds, colored diamonds and colored stones are prong set in no particular order in this 18 carat white gold cross. Just as there is strength emanating from the diversity within Christianity, so too this colorful potpourri seems to attract attention because facetted stones and cabochons; rounds, ovals, marquises, pears and baguettes; emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds are all set in a controlled explosion of profuse colors, shapes and sizes. This large cross is 2.5/8 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. There are 8 natural blue sapphires that amount to approximately 6.15 cts. A dozen natural bright rubies, possibly from Burma as evident of their color, weighing an estimated 4.75 cts. there is but a single emerald, likely Colombian which weighs an estimated 0.32 cts. Nine white diamonds amounting to a weight estimated to be 1.33 cts., near colorless G/H, and slightly included. 8 fancy colored diamonds weighing approximately 1.16 cts. The total carat weight of all the diamonds and colored stones is approximately slightly less than 14 carats, with our estimate to be 13.71 cts. Marked with initials of the maker, which is difficult to read; and dated 1981, this unusual vintage cross is well made with fine stones and in fine condition. Photographed on a 17 inch chain which is not included in the price. Please note our model is a medium to large size. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value by our gemologist, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
