吊坠 - 18K包金 黄金 - 钻石 - Cross、Diamond、1750

这件宏伟的18世纪十字吊坠，起源很可能在法国或比利时，是罗可可艺术的华丽典范。以18K黄金锻造，推测约为1750年左右，那时罗可可风格繁盛，设计华丽而趣味十足。吊坠镶嵌有十颗玫瑰切钻石和 senailles，镶嵌在箔片上以提升光泽——这是那个时代的典型技法。十字象征着神性与尘世之间的联系，体现了其基督教的灵感。此件不仅是宗教象征，也是罗可可时期精湛工艺的见证。

Style
Rococo - Rococo（较少使用的 roccoco）也称为“晚期巴洛克”，是18世纪的一种风格，随着巴洛克艺术家放弃对称性变得更加繁复、华丽与俏皮。罗可可风格的房间被设计为整体艺术品，优雅而华丽的家具、小型雕塑、装饰性镜子和挂毯与建筑、浮雕及壁画相辅相成。它在很大程度上被新古典主义风格所取代。1835年，法国科学院词典表示“罗可可”一词通常涵盖与路易十五时期及路易十六初年相关的 ornament、风格和设计。因此它包括18世纪中叶在法国生产的所有类型艺术作品。

- 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.
