Technique: The rose cuts are set on foil. This is a special technique that was used to bring the lustre of the diamonds to its best quality.

Extra information: Normally crosses from this era are set with so called table rose cut diamonds which are rose cut diamonds with a flat table that is parallel to the bottom of the stone. But the big stones in this cross are fully old cut brilliant cut diamonds which is very unusual. Something we hardly run into. This cross was at its birth already a very expensive jewel.

Diamond(s): Seven old brilliant cut diamonds and four senailles . A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of these diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to senailles.

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.
