The shape of the cross has remained a constant in the history of Western jewelry: whether as a magnificently decorated piece with rubies and diamonds in the Rococo period, worn by a court lady on a velvet ribbon - or in the many variations of 19th century bourgeois jewellery. Adapted to changing tastes, the cross pendant was often a statement of faith and fashion at the same time. Even in the avant-garde Art Déco of the 1920s, examples were created that paid homage to this graphic, geometric design language. The present cross is committed to the style of the years c. 1910. Fashion at the beginning of the 20th century demanded airy designs, which is why our piece of jewellery has a delicately openwork form. It consists of fine so-called knife bars made of high-carat gold, which form a classic Latin cross. Red rubies adorn its surface, while fine diamond roses sparkle at the intersection and at the ends of the cross arms. We have added a fine gold chain to the precious cross. We discovered it here in Berlin, but stylistically it would have been welcome in any European metropolis. A cross that is certainly a pleasure to wear!
