Make an offer
This magnificent pendant from the Georgian era, dating from around 1730 and probably of Belgian origin, combines religious symbolism and classic elegance. Crafted in 18-carat yellow gold, it takes the form of a cross, a motif rich in Christian meaning and historical resonance. Adorned with eighteen rose-cut diamonds, enhanced with senailles, this jewel demonstrates old-world craftsmanship, notably through the use of foil setting to enhance the brilliance of the stones. In very good condition, it comes with a chain, a true testament to the past, evoking the timeless beauty and narrative richness of the Georgian style.

Georgian – The Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to all the styles in vogue between 1720 and 1840. It is named after the first four British monarchs of the Maison of Hanover — George I of Great Britain, George II of Great Britain, George III of the United Kingdom and George IV of the United Kingdom — who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830.

Cross – The cross is one of the oldest human symbols and is used by many religions, such as Christianity.

Technique:
The rose-cut diamonds are set on foil. This special technique was used to enhance the brilliance of the diamonds.
Diamond(s):
Eight rose-cut diamonds, table cut. We do not know the weight of the diamonds, unlike what is usual in our trade for rose cuts.
Ten rose-cut diamonds and senailles. A senaille is a simplified rose-cut diamond, a small diamond chip sometimes with a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of the rose-cut diamonds nor that of the senailles, unlike what is usual in our trade.
- All the diamonds we offer are checked by the IJGC laboratory (www.ijgc-worldwide.com) to determine whether they are natural or synthetic, and all the diamonds in this jewel are guaranteed 100% natural.

Dimensions:
Once assembled, the two pieces have a total height of 6.50 cm (2.56 inches) and the necklace's neck circumference is 48.00 cm (18.90 inches). This circumference can be reduced by sliding the upper part of the pendants upwards and using the ring clasp fixed at 9.00 cm (3.54 inches) from the end of the chain. - See the image with a ruler in cm and inches.
