Hanging cross from the last third of the 19th century, made of tested silver and constructed with an open, symmetrical, architectural structure. It features a central rosette with a reddish stone surrounded by small mother-of-pearl pearls, as well as various stones in red and violet tones distributed on the four arms.

Its design reflects the historicist Renaissance Revival taste, characteristic of much European jewelry from the late 19th century. The widened arms, the openwork construction, the small serrated bezels, and the combination of colored stones with pearly elements reinterpret Renaissance ornamental repertoires within the Victorian language. Some of the stones are visually compatible with garnets, while others could correspond to rhinestones or antique pastes, so a cautious identification of the materials is maintained.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
