Georgian Saint Esprit Enamel and Garnet Cross Pendant
90-3-13626
ABOUT THIS NECKLACE
In the French region of Auvergne, specifically Le Puy-en-Velay, the Saint Esprit cross--or Holy Spirit cross--was a highly symbolic pendant that was popular in France during the late 18th century, and this striking version beautifully presents the characteristics of the style. An intricately fashioned hand fabricated 18K gold cross with textured edges is colored with white enamel accented with tiny green dots and set with five intensely vivid purplish-red garnets, while three dangling rose-colored glass drops represent the tears of Christ. The cross suspends from a complementary top set with an oval garnet and embellished with two glass drops. A rare collectable. Ribbon not included. Georgian, circa 1850. Condition note: enamel shows wear commensurate with age of piece.
