Antique gold cross pendant set with rose cut diamonds

The purity of this 14K warm yellow gold Georgian cross pendant from around 1750 emanates from the ten rose cut diamonds lustring from their domed settings with a suspending oval dome arranged in a Roman cross. With its four diamond-encrusted domed petals sprouting between the intersections of the cross, this pendant could help anyone grow their devotional roots like roses in their soil.
