Sans Prix de Réserve - Pendentif - 18 carats Argent, Or rose

Type of jewel: Vintage antique rose cut diamond cross pendant

Condition: very good

Country of origin: This is either French or Belgian, because the official hallmark for gold (a horse head) was used in both countries.

Style: Vintage antique

Era: ca. 1840

Inspired by: 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: 18K red gold and silver (touchstone tested)

Technique: The rose cuts are set on foil. This is a ancient technique that was used to bring the lustre of the diamonds to its best quality. This is being done by placing in the closed mounting under the diamond a highly polished cone of silver foil.

Diamond(s): Nineteen senaille cuts. A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets. We do not have the weight of these diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to senailles.

- All diamonds, regardless of their size or shape, in our vintage and antique jewellery are verified as 100% natural by the IJGC laboratory.

- We do not sell lab-grown (synthetic) diamonds.

Birth and month stones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April.

Hallmarks: The control mark here represents a horse’s head and was in use in Belgium from 1831 and in France from about 1838.

Dimensions: 4,74 cm (1,87 inch) x 3,19 cm (1,26 inch) - See picture with a ruler in cm and inches

Weight: 3,60 gram (2,31 dwt)

- 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.
