An exquisite antique religious pendant, crafted in 18K gold and dating from the early 20th century. One side features the Chi-Rho symbol, a revered Christian emblem formed by the overlapping Greek letters chi (Χ) and rho (Ρ)—the first two letters of “Christ” in Greek (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ). Surrounding the symbol is a crown of thorns, further emphasising its deep connection to the crucifixion and Christian liturgy. The Chi-Rho, often associated with Constantine the Great, has been used in Christian art and symbolism since the 4th century as a declaration of faith.The reverse side depicts a finely engraved profile of Jesus Christ, encircled by the Latin phrase “Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat,” which translates to “Christ has conquered, Christ now rules, Christ now reigns supreme.” This phrase reflects the eternal sovereignty of Christ as understood in Christian theology.The pendant measures 2 cm in diameter and weighs 4.1 grams. It is hallmarked with the French eagle’s head, confirming its Parisian origin and 18K gold purity, along with a maker’s mark, possibly for Adrien Chobillon, a noted French goldsmith and medallist.In excellent condition, this beautifully crafted pendant stands as a testament to 19th-century French religious artistry. Perfect for collectors or as a meaningful piece of devotional jewellery.
