This "à la Jeannette" jewel, adorned with a heart and cross motif, is masterfully crafted in 14-carat yellow gold enhanced with silver, symbolizing the luxurious aesthetics of the era. Adorned with a central diamond of exceptional size and 21 other diamonds combining table and rose cuts, set on foil to enhance their brilliance, it embodies the artistic zeal of the period. A testament to fervent symbolism and ornamental grandeur, this treasure reflects the vibrant movement and emotion of its time, preserved in very good condition.

Style specifics
Baroque is an artistic and decorative style that developed shortly before 1600 and remained common in Europe until the emergence of the Rococo style around 1730. Born in Italy, it spread to Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. Only a more or less austere classical version was popular in France under Louis XIV. This style, derived from the Renaissance, is characterized by lively, curved, and exuberant forms, vigorous movement, and rich ornamentation inspired by classical sources, symmetrical as opposed to the asymmetry of the Rococo style that followed it.

It often represents the division of the world into four elements (or cardinal points), or the union of the concepts of divinity (the vertical line) and the world (the horizontal line).
