About the Item
This beautiful cross in silver and gold is a rare and very old piece. Handmade, this antique pendant is decorated with 26 Marcasites.
The Marcasite is actually Pyrite in disguise and the name "marcasite" is widely used to refer both it and pyrite. So-called marcasite jewellery, popular in Victorian times, has always been made mainly from pyrite since some genuine marcasite is unstable and deteriorates in air. This silver cross is in good used condition, with normal signs of wear commensurate with the age of the jewel.

Antique Silver and 14K Gold Cross Pendant with Rose-Cut Diamonds, Circa 1850
Located in Rotterdam, NL
This elegant antique cross pendant is a refined example of mid-19th century devotional jewelry, dating to around circa 1850, and crafted in silver with a 14 karat yellow gold backing. The front of the cross is delicately set with a total of 12 rose-cut diamonds, arranged in a scalloped border pattern that enhances their subtle sparkle. Each stone is securely set in silver, as was customary in the era to best reflect the light from candlelit interiors.
The reverse of the pendant features beautifully detailed engraved flower motifs in relief, adding an additional layer of craftsmanship and making the back as decorative as the front — a feature often seen in early European cross pendants.
