  • A proposito di opere d'arte

    The filigree frills of this 18K yellow and red gold Georgian pendant from 1820 guide you through a heart-shaped surmount and a twofold Latin cross depicted by four senailles in a domed foil setting. This typical Belgian adornment, called a croix "à la Jeanette", exudes heritage and romance through the senaille-embellished roses and petals scattered over the ethereal curls.

    Antique jewelry object group: pendant

    Condition: excellent condition
      -  (more info on our condition scale)

    Country of origin:Although it does not carry any legible control marks we believe this to be of Belgian origin.

    Style: Georgian - Georgian style is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of styles current between 1720 and 1840. It is eponymous for the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover—George I of Great Britain, George II of GreatBritain, George III of the United Kingdom, and George IV of the United Kingdom—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830.

    Period: ca. 1820
      -  (events and facts in 1820)

    Source of inspiration: Christianity

    Theme: Cross - The word cross was introduced to English in the 10th century as the term for the instrument of the torturous execution of Jesus (gradually replacing the earlier word rood), ultimately from Latin crux, via Old Irish cros. The word can nowadaysrefer to the geometrical shape unrelated to its Christian significance. The Latin Crux (translating Greek stauros) was a Roman torture device used for crucifixion.

    Material: 18K bi-color (yellow and red) gold
      -  (more info on precious metals)

    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 (formerly written filigrann or filigrane) is a delicate kind of jewel work made with twisted threads usually of gold and silver or stitching of the same curving motifs. It often suggests lace and French from 1660 to the late 19th century. Itshould not be confused with ajoure jewellery work; while both have many open areas, filigree involves threads being soldered together to form an object and ajoure involves holes being punched, drilled, or cut through an existing piece of metal. (from: Wikipedia)

    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

    Diamonds: Eleven senailles. 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.

    Birthstones: Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April.
