Old European Cut Diamonds. Solid 9ct Gold. Victorian, English.  (Chain Not Included)","description":"This Victorian-era piece is a fascinating blend of traditional design and inventive craftsmanship. \u003cbr\u003eThe primary cross, expertly fashioned in 9ct gold, exudes the stately simplicity and spiritual symbolism typical of the time. Adorning this is a smaller, secondary cross that is charmingly embellished with old European cut diamonds—these hand-cut diamonds have a unique antique sparkle compared to modern brilliant cuts.\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this piece particularly unique is its method of assembly. Instead of the more common practice of soldering or seamless integration, the smaller cross is affixed to the larger one using two diminutive screws. This distinctive manufacturing approach exemplifies the artisan's ingenuity. \u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, the base of the cross is stamped with \"9ct,\" a mark that assures the viewer of the gold's authenticity and quality. This signature detail couples with the old cut diamonds to create a piece that is steeped in both historical authenticity and technical innovation—a true emblem of Victorian-era design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe piece is offered in excellent condition and retains most of its original mercury gilding - it's a lovely warm yellow colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note the chain is not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiamonds approx. 2.0 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall dimensions: 32.8mm x 22.6mm x 5.0mm deep (not including bale and top ring) \u003cbr\u003eBale \/top ring adds  11.7mm \u003cbr\u003e1.5mm thick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight. 7.8g \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStamped `9ct`\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLAYAWAY: We happily offer layaway\/deposits on most items.
