Antique Victorian silver pendant in the shape of an ornamental cross, with flared side arms and pointed ends, decorated with seven transparent faceted stones of different sizes. Notable is the round central stone, accompanied by six others distributed symmetrically across the structure. It is accompanied by a contemporary 925 silver chain, added later.
These types of ornamental crosses were used as personal accessories and could combine their religious significance with a decorative function. Their composition is reminiscent of European jewelry models from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when crosses with transparent stones were worn suspended from chains, both in everyday attire and for formal occasions. The proposed date refers to the pendant, not the added chain.
