About the Item

This Victorian 18 karat yellow gold amethyst and pink tourmaline cross pendant is a rare and exceptional example of estate jewelry, showcasing six oval cabochon amethysts totaling an extraordinary 59.4 carats set alongside ten vivid round cabochon pink tourmalines totaling 4.5 carats. The deep, velvety purple of the amethysts, each a generous 16 by 12 millimeters, is electrified by the hot-pink brilliance of the tourmalines, set in pairs between each stone, creating a jewel that is as striking in person as it is in photographs. Measuring a bold 3½ by 2³⁄₁₆ inches overall and weighing a substantial 32.3 grams, this amethyst cross pendant exemplifies the confident, large-scale gemstone jewelry beloved during the Victorian era, when crosses were worn as both spiritual symbols and fashionable ornaments. The 18-karat yellow gold mountings have been acid tested and all stones are set in elegant prong settings. A fold-down bail allows the piece to be worn on a chain of the collector's choice. Offered in as-found estate condition: previously fitted with a brooch mechanism (now removed), with a minor surface scratch on the center amethyst that does not diminish its rich color or overall presence. This Victorian amethyst and pink tourmaline cross pendant is a compelling find for the serious collector of antique and estate jewelry. *no chain included

Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Enamel Cross Pendant, 1.00 Carat

Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Enamel Cross Pendant, 1.00 Carat

Located in Towson, MD

An elegant Victorian-era cross pendant crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches long by 15/16 inch wide and weighing 5.29 grams. The cross is set with 11 old mine cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.00 carat, displaying near-colorless appearance with VS clarity. The diamonds are prong-set and arranged with seven running vertically and five across the center, creating a classic cross formation. Each row of diamonds is framed by black enamel detailing, a design element commonly associated with Victorian mourning jewelry. The enamel is bordered by decorative yellow gold scalloping, adding contrast and texture to the piece. Consistent with its age, the black enamel shows visible wear toward the lower portion of the cross, which is typical for antique pieces and reflects its history. The pendant is fitted with a yellow gold articulating bail, allowing it to move freely when worn. Examination of the reverse reveals a gold plate affixed to the upper back from which the bail is attached. This plate does not appear original to the cross, suggesting the pendant may have once been part of a larger item, possibly a locket, before being converted into a standalone cross. This possibility further supports the interpretation of the piece as a Victorian mourning cross...
