Era: Renaissance
Dimensions: Cross: 2-1/8"x2-7/8" Chain: 30" long
Description: This design is inspired by a pretentious neo-Renaissance style that swept through Europe in the early 1830's. The preference for historicism in jewelry was merged with a taste for lavish color. Ornamental crosses were worn not only for the glorification of God, but also because of the prevailing beliefs in the mystical empowerment of wearing them. This beauty comes in four different styles and is filled with amethyst, peridot, lavender and topaz crystal. You may wear it as a necklace on its long braided wheat chain, or as a brooch.
