The rare beauty of Antique Jewellery, brought to you by {name}

Peter Wright

Type of jewel: Vintage antique 14K gold filigree cross pendant turquoises and seed pearls can be worn as brooch too

Condition: very good

Style: Vintage antique

Era: ca. 1840

Inspired by: Christianity

Theme: Cross - The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used by many religions, such as Christianity. It is frequently a representation of the division of the world into four elements (or cardinal points), or alternately as the union of the concepts of divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line.

Material: 14K yellow gold (touchstone tested)

Technique: This jewel features both a filigree and a granulation decoration. Granulation is a technique where the goldsmith uses very small balls (granules) of metal, which are not soldered to the piece but welded. And filigree which is a delicate kind of jewel work made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver or stitching of the same curving motifs. Both techniques demand very high skills and precision from the maker.

Extra information: At the back, a small compartment with a glass cover holds a lock of hair — a touching personal element typical of sentimental jewellery from the period.

Turquoise - Turquoise was used many times as the love message "don't forget me". The link between the stone and the message was the color, being the same in turquoise and in the flower forget-me-not.

Precious stone(s): 25 turquoises and eight seed pearls

Birth and month stones: Turquoise is the birthstone (or month stone) for December and Pearl is the birthstone (or month stone) for June.

Hallmarks: No trace.

Dimensions: 5,17 cm (2,04 inch) x 4,33 cm (1,70 inch) - See picture with a ruler in cm and inches

Weight: 9,20 gram (5,92 dwt)

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
