A superb antique Baroque cross pendant, crafted in gold and silver in Western Europe; most likely Flemish or German; circa 1700. The cross is beautifully proportioned and richly worked, with pierced openwork foliate terminals set throughout with rose cut diamonds, displaying the bold sculptural character typical of late 17th-century devotional jewellery.At the centre, five larger rose cut diamonds are bezel set within domed collets decorated with distinctive pie-crust edges; a hallmark of Baroque jewel design seen almost exclusively in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. These are complemented by a further series of rose cut diamonds across the arms, bringing the total to twenty-four stones, all well matched and lively for their age.The reverse is particularly fine, engraved with scrolling Baroque ornament dating firmly to c. 1690–1710, and speaks to the quality of workmanship intended to be appreciated from every angle. Gold and diamond crosses of this type were worn throughout the 17th century, often suspended high on a black ribbon.Later French swan and eagle control marks indicate the pendant was subsequently sold or brought into France, confirming 18K gold and silver construction. A powerful and rare survival of Baroque religious jewellery, with excellent scale and presence.The pendant measures approximately 5 × 3.5 cm, weighs 11.16 grams, and is set with larger rose cut diamonds measuring up to 3 mm. Condition is very good for age, with no significant losses and strong definition to both the settings and engraved reverse.
