Antique Belle Epoque Diamond Cross Pendant in Platinum

A dazzling French platinum cross pendant, set with old cut diamonds from the Belle Epoque period. Eight-one romantically sparkling diamonds have been expertly grain set to sit together, perfectly forming an iconic domed cross shape. An 18-inch platinum spiga chain perfectly completes the piece. Cross pendants were particularly popular during the 19th-century, with examples being worn by pious individuals to demonstrate their faith. In more modern times, Jackie Kennedy had a large collection of cross pendants, which she wore frequently throughout her lifetime. Wearable today as a symbol of Christianity, or simply as an iconic form, this will look superb worn against a black winter jumper.
