This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE CROSS PENDANT that was made in the LATE VICTORIAN PERIOD of c1880. It is HANDMADE from 18K GOLD and has a very LARGE BALE, so it can accommodate a good sized chain or leather/silk cord. This SIX-BUDDED CROSS is prong-set with 7 OLD MINE CUT DIAMOND of H-I-J color, SI to I clarity that weigh approx. .55 ctw. There is a minor scrape in the gold on the back center.
The cross has some areas of patina at the back of the buds (especially the center bud) that illuminates the age. The cross is on the larger size (mostly due to the bale), measuring 2-3/16” long, including the bale, by 1-3/16” at the widest point. The cross alone, without the bale, is 1-9/16” long. The arms have an engraved detail and the buds are 3/8” at the thickest point. The total weight is a solid feeling 6.9 grams. The buds on this cross remind me of chrysanthemums...what about you? FABULOUS DETAIL ... ONE OF A KIND ... FINE QUALITY & GREAT CONDITION!

*A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHY – Taking pictures of diamonds to be displayed on a computer screen can be difficult, often resulting in the diamonds looking dark (especially rose cut diamonds) when in reality they are not. If you are looking at any of our pictures and feel that the diamonds look dark, please refer to the description of the item that states the accurate color and clarity of the stones.
Also, jewelry and/or diamond grading is done under 10X magnification. When you super-size our photos you will see the item in 100X magnification. Please be aware that you may see things that cannot be seen with your eyes or a jeweler’s loupe. Sometimes these magnified images can make the item look distorted or appear to have problems when in reality it is fine. I list only high quality pieces and avoid those with problems or in need of repair unless it is described as such in the listing. If you are seeing something that you are not sure of, please inquire about it.
REFUND POLICY: The buyer has the right to a refund should the item not be suitable. The item must be promptly returned in its original condition without damage, alteration, repair or signs of wear when examined under a 10x jewelers loupe. Buyer is responsible for return shipping fees unless we have mistakenly misrepresented the item.
I realize there is risk on the buyer’s side when bidding on an expensive jewelry item. If you would feel more comfortable speaking to me in person before bidding on an item, I welcome all calls.
