Precious Cross from the 17th Century

As if a guardian angel bestowed upon this yellow gold cross, this invaluable 18K Iberian pendant and brooch from Spain or Portugal, adorned with 23 old table rose cut diamonds, has endured since the 17th century. Apart from the grand pear-shaped suspension, the primary shape of a diamond ascending from an eight-lobed dome embellished with mille grains repeats around the fully diamond-encrusted centre. The airy presence of this jewel is attributed to the curling wirework from which leaflets sprout between the intersections.
