Pendant only, chain not included.
This exquisite antique cross pendant dates to the late 19th century, a time when cross jewelry gained popularity not just as a symbol of faith, but also as a fashionable accessory worn close to the heart. During the Victorian era, cross pendants were often exchanged as sentimental tokens rich with personal meaning.
Crafted in glowing 14k yellow gold, this cross is set with approximately 3.5 carats of natural French cut sapphires. The vivid blue stones are exceptionally bright and well-saturated, catching the light with every movement. French cut sapphires were favored in fine jewelry of the era for their geometric precision and beautiful play of color.
