A scarce early 18th century Baroque table cut diamond cross pendant, circa 1700-1720 and probably Western Europe (Netherlands or Flanders).
The cross is crafted in 14K yellow gold, and set with six table cut diamonds. Each of the diamonds are mounted in rub-over collet settings within a smooth-domed bezel. There is a typically late Baroque ‘pie-crust’ edging to the base of each of the six domes, which points to c.1680-1720 workmanship.
As seen on many portraits of the period, gold and diamond crosses of the present type were worn high on the neck and tied around a black string of ribbon, for an example see Marie-Louise de Tassis, c. 1630, by Anthony van Dyck.
Weight: 4.5 grams, Height: 4cm, Width: 2.8cm
Approx. weight of diamonds: estimated 0.5 ctw (average size is 3mm x 2mm)
