A fantastic antique 19th century coral cross pendant. This gorgeous pendant is set with Mediterranean Coral (corallum rubrum) of a orange-red colour carved into the shape of a cross. Likely a Grand Tour souvenir from Naples, the ancient centre of the coral industry in Italy, this cross is crafted with 18K gold.
Coral jewellery has been worn as an amulet of protection against ailments and danger since ancient Rome. They believed coral had talismanic properties and hung branches of it around their children's necks to safeguard them from danger.
Pendant : 5.3cm x 3cm x 0.5cm
Weight: 5.24g
These types of crosses were particularly popular in the Georgian era, and can be seen on many paintings of well-to-do ladies of the era. It would look great on any gold chain, or even on a ribbon as it would have originally been worn in the Georgian period.
