An absolutely stunning diamond cross from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in rich 18kt yellow gold, this jaw dropping piece features seven substantially sized diamonds which line the front of the cross, which can easily be worn as a brooch or pendant. The diamonds, which are old Mine Cut stones, are prong set in a dramatic high prong setting, sparkling beautifully with every turn. An additional 12 delicate accent stones adorn the tips of the cross, giving the pin/pendant a collective total diamond weight of approximately 4.50ctw. The scalloped wirework design is visible along the edges of the cross, and delicate beadwork is present at each of the four points.

The appearance of the cross evokes a 15th century Renaissance style, giving the design a look of antiquity often present in religious relics...
