Divine Radiance: 1730s Gold Cross Pendant

This exquisite Georgian-era pendant, circa 1730, believed to be of Belgian origin, marries devout symbolism and classic elegance. Crafted from 18K yellow gold, it takes the shape of a cross, a motif rich with Christian significance and historical resonance. Adorned with eighteen table rose-cut diamonds, complemented by senailles, the piece reflects a bygone era's craftsmanship, particularly the use of foil setting to enhance the stones' radiance. In very good condition, it comes attached to a chain, representing a tangible piece of the past, echoing the timeless beauty and rich narratives of the Georgian style.
