Elegant French Antique 18K gold blue enameled pearl cross pendant
In the past, people used jewelry to demonstrate their status, faith or material well-being. We are now living in a time when symbolic elements, including religious symbols, are not always directly associated with their original meaning. Once sacred, these objects have now become decorative elements and everyone can give them their own meaning.
For sale a very refined French antique 18K gold cross from the 19th century: Decorated by an elegant enameled frame in royal blue color, the cross has 3 seed pearls on its bail and 11 pearls on the body. The combination of the blue, creamy white and buttery gold tones make it a truly unique “one-of-a-kind” design, and no modern cross can have anything like it. The back of the cross is beautifully engraved with flowers and ribbons, where you can personalize if wish.
Its large bail also allows it to be attached to different types of chains.
It will be a beautiful gift to offer or to receive!
