 Simply stunning! Here at the Curio, we’ve had the pleasure of coming across several incredible Napoleon III period crosses, and this piece is no exception!

French in origin, this 19th century pearl cross was likely crafted circa 1860-1870. This particular example is forged in a classic gothic shape – though there is an elegant daintiness to the construction that creates a distinctly feminine silhouette.

Crafted in a lovely 18 carat gold, this cross has beautiful arabesque foliate design that feels almost botanical in nature. Nestled at all four points of the cross – as well as the center – are 5 darling miniature pearls. The pearls juxtapose beautiful against the yellow gold, and their luminescent hue only further elevates the silhouette.

This piece features a large, notable bale that makes this a versatile piece; this cross would pair beautifully with a chunky chain, or a svelte ribbon. Either way, this effervescent treasure is a dynamic addition to any collection – perfect for the art historian and antique connoisseur alike!
