吊坠 - 18K包金 银, 黄金 - 钻石 - 古董维多利亚风格，1830 年

Type of jewel: Vintage antique diamond pendant from around 1830 so-called "a la Jeannette"

Condition: In a good state, particularly considering the jewel's age.

Country of origin: Most probably Belgium

Style: Vintage antique Victorian

Era: ca. 1830

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 warm yellow gold and details in 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.

Extra information: This is a typical Belgian, late 18th till mid-19th century, pendant set with rose cut diamonds. They are called 'à la Jeannette' or 'croix à la Jeanette' which is French for: "cross in the style of Jeanette". It consists of three loose but hinged parts, from the top part a (two-piece) pendant in the form of a (hinged) latin cross is dangling, the lowest of these two is pear-shaped. These are all made in the same manner with serrated edges, stylized flowers set with small rose cut diamonds and high dome-shaped mountings for the bigger rose cut diamonds.

Diamond(s): 32 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 in our vintage and antique jewellery are verified by the IJGC-lab to confirm whether they are natural or lab-grown. We do not offer any pieces with lab-grown diamonds. Thus, we assure that all diamonds in this jewel are 100% natural.

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

Hallmarks: No trace.

- 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.
