  • About the artwork

    The 18K red gold filigree frills of this Georgian pendant from 1750 guide you through a twofold Latin cross and a heart-shaped surmount depicted by six grand table cut rose cut diamonds set on foil. This typical Belgian adornment, called a croix "à la Jeanette", exudes heritage and romance through the shimmer of 33 modest diamonds in silver scattered over the ethereal gold curls.

    Technique: The rose cuts are set on foil. This is a special technique that was used to bring the lustre of the diamonds to its best quality.

    Filigree; this is in fact thin gold wire twisted into refined motifs. This technique demands very high skills and precision from the maker.

    Extra information: This type of pendant is typically Belgian in the late 18th till mid-19th century. They are called 'à la Jeannette'. A croix à la Jeanette (French for: "cross in the style of Jeanette") is a pendant in the form of a heart with a latin cross dangling from it

A senaille is a simplified rose cut diamond, a small diamond chip with perhaps a few polished facets.
