Vintage 925 Sterling Silver Catholic Cross Pendant with Purple Stones
A beautiful and highly decorative vintage Catholic cross pendant crafted in 925 sterling silver, accompanied by its original silver-tone chain.
The cross features an elaborate openwork design with delicate scrolling foliage, floral details and multiple faceted purple / amethyst-coloured stones arranged throughout the arms of the cross.
The central setting contains a round light-coloured stone surrounded by ornate gold-tone decoration, creating an elegant focal point within the intricate ecclesiastical design.
The combination of sterling silver, gold-tone accents and faceted purple stones gives this vintage Catholic cross pendant a particularly elegant and decorative character.
925 Sterling Silver
A 925 silver hallmark is visible on the reverse of the cross, confirming the sterling silver fineness.
The pendant is presented with its original silver-tone chain and has a total weight of approximately 13 grams including the chain.
The silver surface displays natural signs of age and wear consistent with the vintage character of the piece.
Purple Stones and Central Stone
The cross is decorated with multiple faceted purple stones arranged throughout the arms of the cross.
As the stones have not been independently gemologically tested, they are conservatively described as purple / amethyst-coloured stones rather than certified natural amethysts.
The central setting contains a round light-coloured stone surrounded by ornate gold-tone decoration. The composition creates an attractive contrast between the silver, gold-tone details and purple stones.
Ornate Ecclesiastical Design
The cross features an intricate openwork floral and filigree design, with scrolling foliage and decorative details extending across the arms.
The combination of the elaborate silverwork and colourful stone settings gives the pendant the appearance of a historic Christian devotional cross with a distinctly ecclesiastical character.
The original chain allows the cross to be worn as a devotional necklace or displayed as part of a collection of vintage religious jewellery.
Vintage Condition
The pendant and chain retain their original vintage character, with natural signs of age and wear.
