Type of jewel: Vintage 1950s diamond cross Condition: In well-preserved condition, especially given the jewel`s age. Country of origin: Belgium Style: Vintage 1950's Fifties Era: ca. 1950 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: 18K white gold (touchstone tested) Diamond(s): Twenty rose cut. - We understand that private buyers may expect diamond weights to be provided, but in the case of rose-cut or senaille diamonds, this is simply not standard practice among industry professionals specialising in antique and vintage jewellery. Unlike brilliant-cut diamonds, where weight correlates with diameter, rose cuts vary in thickness, making weight estimation impossible once set. Providing such figures could lead to unnecessary debates, as rose-cut diamonds were traditionally valued for their visual effect rather than intrinsic worth. Even major auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s rarely list their weight, except for exceptionally large stones, where diameter is often provided instead. - All diamonds, regardless of their size or shape, in our vintage and antique jewellery are verified as 100% natural by the IJGC laboratory. Birth and month stones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April. Hallmarks: "0750" suggesting 18K gold and a master mark from which the outer shape is in the shape of a barrel and was taken offically in use in Belgium since 1952 (but was already used before that date).
