Victorian Ornate Cannetille Silver Gilt Cross Circa 1850

This elegant antique cross pendant is a refined example of mid-19th century devotional jewelry, dating to around circa 1850, and crafted in silver with a 14 karat yellow gold backing. The front of the cross is delicately set with a total of 12 rose-cut diamonds, arranged in a scalloped border pattern that enhances their subtle sparkle. Each stone is securely set in silver, as was customary in the era to best reflect the light from candlelit interiors. The reverse of the pendant features beautifully detailed engraved flower motifs in relief, adding an additional layer of craftsmanship and making the back as decorative as the front — a feature often seen in early European cross pendants.
