This stunning antique cross pendant, crafted in solid 14K gold, is a fine example of 19th-century European ecclesiastical jewelry featuring richly faceted Bohemian garnets in an ornate Baroque Revival or Rococo-inspired setting. Measuring 70 x 57 mm and weighing 11.9 grams, the pendant is substantial in size with an intricate gold framework adorned with elaborate scrollwork and foliate motifs, giving it an opulent and decorative appearance. At the center and along the arms of the cross, deep red, rose-cut garnets are carefully set in bezel and prong settings, framed by delicate gold bead accents. The openwork gold detailing creates a sense of lightness and dimension, while the back features a flat, pierced gold plate, indicative of traditional 19th-century European craftsmanship. The symmetry and elaborate detailing reflect influences from the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Bohemian jewelry traditions, where Bohemian garnets were highly prized and commonly used in religious and aristocratic adornments. This cross pendant likely dates to the mid-to-late 19th century, during the height of the Bohemian garnet jewelry movement. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bohemian workshops were renowned for producing luxurious gold and garnet jewelry, often inspired by Baroque and Rococo designs. The use of high-quality, deep red garnets sourced from Bohemia was a hallmark of Central European jewelry in the 19th century. The ornate goldwork, floral scrolls, and symmetrical design align with Austro-Hungarian ecclesiastical and aristocratic jewelry, often worn by nobility and the clergy. This cross was likely worn as a devotional pendant and possibly used in ceremonial or ecclesiastical settings, reflecting the strong Christian heritage of the time. The antique 14K gold and garnet cross pendant is a rare and historically significant piece that embodies the rich heritage of 19th-century European craftsmanship. Its large size, exquisite gold detailing, and brilliant Bohemian garnets make it a highly collectible and wearable piece of history, perfect for those who appreciate antique religious jewelry...
