About the Item
This is the finest example of a French Provincial Wedding Cross I have seen. At its finest, antique paste jewelry was made treating pastes like gemstones. This was a venerated art form, its beauty and workmanship admired and collected by royalty and the wealthy. Note the fineness of the silver design, like a snowflake in its delicacy. Turn the cross over. Old paste is entirely made by hand. Each section that holds a stone is round and smooth. Worn backwards, it would still be beautiful. The pastes have been expertly set. No element of deterioration has occurred. Each stone is underlined with a thin foil of metal to enhance capturing candle glow. The stones are varied cuts and different sizes. This is a museum quality example called the French Croix de Saint Lo. Marvelous Condition
