About the Item
An impressive late 19th century pectoral cross, to the centre a circular plaque with an emerald-set Latin cross with fleur-de-lys cardinal points, the emeralds estimated to weigh ½ carat in total, surrounded by ruby and old-cut diamond-set frame, the four arms with openwork scroll and foliate decorations, with two crossed palm branches on the back, suspended from a ruby and old-cut diamond-set openwork crown and a gold pendant loop, the diamonds estimated to weigh 2¼ carats in total, the rubies estimated to weigh 2½ carats in total, mounted in yellow gold, circa 1880, measuring 16.5 x 9cm, gross weight 100 grams.
This antique cross is in very good condition, with signs of wear consistent with its age. Unmarked, tested as 18ct gold.
This impressive late 19th century pectoral cross is part of the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the distinguished London jewellers by royal appointment to His Majesty the King. At the heart of the reverent cross lies a circular plaque adorned with a Latin cross embellished with bright green emeralds, and at its cardinal points graced by fleur-de-lys motifs, all encircled by a frame adorned with rubies and old-cut diamonds. The four arms of the cross feature intricate openwork scrolls and foliate decorations, while two crossed palm branches adorn the back. Suspended gracefully from a crown adorned with rubies and old-cut diamonds, and accompanied by a gold pendant loop, this exquisite cross, crafted circa 1880 in yellow gold, radiates timeless elegance.
