Georgian 18th Century 'Croix de Saint Lo' Silver Paste Cross Pendant

Sold

An exceptional example of early 19th-century craftsmanship, this Georgian ‘Croix de Saint Lo’ pendant is set throughout with sparkling hand-cut Paste stones in Sterling Silver. These crosses originated in Normandy, France, and were cherished devotional jewels symbolising faith and protection.

The Paste gems, known as “black dot” Paste, were meticulously hand-painted to imitate the culets of fine Diamonds, giving the piece a magnificent brilliance. The central stone and surrounding drops create an impressive, radiant display, equivalent in presence to around 7.50cts of Diamonds.
