Style
Rococo - Rococo（较少见的写法为 roccoco），也称为“晚期巴洛克”，是18世纪的风格，在巴洛克艺术家放弃对称性后变得越来越繁复、华丽、变化多端。洛可可房间被设计成艺术的整体作品，家具优雅华丽、微型雕塑、装饰镜子和挂毯与建筑、浮雕和壁画相映成趣。它在很大程度上被新古典风格所取代。1835年，《法兰西学院词典》指出洛可可一词“通常涵盖与路易十五在位及路易十六初期相关的那类装饰、风格与设计”。因此，它包括18世纪中叶在法国创作的所有类型艺术。参见：洛可可

Style specifics

Rococo is a style of decoration that followed, c.1730, the baroque style in France (where it was also called rocaille), the principal features of which are asymmetry of ornament and a repertoire consisting to a considerable extent of rockwork, shells, flowers, foliage, and scrollwork. It was developed in France under Louis XV, 1715-74, and spread to Italy, Germany, and Austria and to a lesser extent to England.

Period
ca. 1750

Source of inspiration
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
Silver with gilded back

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 The reverse side of the centre of the cross is hand-engraved and, although not perfectly preserved, it is still evident that the reverse has been fire-gilded, an old technique no longer in use.

- 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.
