About the Item
Antique Georgian Precious Coral and Diamond Cross Pendant, Italian, Early 19th Century.
A captivating relic of Georgian devotion and Italian craftsmanship, this early 19th-century cross pendant is a study in elegance, symbolism, and rare materials. At its heart lies a luminous rose-cut diamond, set in a silver-topped, step-down collet—an exquisite detail that heightens the gemstone’s soft, candlelit sparkle.
Radiating from the center are cylindrical arms of vivid orange corallium rubrum, each capped with rounded terminals and beautifully mounted in yellow gold. The sculptural quality of the coral—once a prized material believed to hold protective powers—contrasts elegantly with the warmth of the gold and the icy brilliance of the diamond, achieving a harmony of texture and tone that is unmistakably Georgian in spirit.
Likely Italian in origin, this pendant is not only a devotional object but also a testament to the refined artistry of the period, when coral from the Mediterranean was reserved for the most treasured adornments. The craftsmanship evident in the precise gold settings and the balanced geometry of the cross suggests a maker deeply attuned to both form and meaning.
The pendant remains in excellent antique condition, retaining a soft patina that speaks to its age and history. A rare surviving jewel from the early 1800s, it offers collectors and connoisseurs a poetic link to the past—both spiritually resonant and visually striking.
Wear it close to the heart—an heirloom of devotion, design, and enduring beauty.
