Antique Iberian Gold and Diamond Cruciform Pendant
$2,850.00
Old World, Romantic.
We seem to have a thing for Iberian jewelry and crosses. When we find an Iberian cross, we pounce!
We have had other crosses — all beautiful, all special. This particular example, from Spain, is all that and so wearable — just the right amount of flourish and the right length to elongate the neck, dropping down to emphasize the collarbones and décolletage. The diamonds are imperfect and glinty, set off to advantage by the rich and lacy yellow gold.
We love this on a high karat gold chain or a simple black cord. We also favor wearing this with layers of antique gold — such as our French sautoir. Go on, have fun, and yes, we’d wear this every day!
Chains shown are not included.
Unmarked.
18k gold (with the 2d and 3d joining loops testing a bit lower), diamond.
Dimensions and weight:
● 80 mm long (including loop)
● 30.2 mm wide
● .7.5 mm deep (deepest point)
● 14.8 grams
Period: 18th century, with restorations.
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate and age-commensurate wear may be present. Note that there is a chip to the central diamond on the cruciform at 4/5 o’clock; we consider this acceptable, age-appropriate wear; this does not detract from the overall beauty or integrity of the piece.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
