"Openwork French 18k Gold Cross, Religious Pendant, Christian Gold Cross, Retro Pendant"
Openwork religious cross pendant in 18 karat gold. Beautiful cross made using the repercé technique, which involves openwork gold plates using a bocfil to create finely cut patterns. Here, scrolls and foliage unfold in a delicate decoration, evoking the light and complex design of lace: the metal alone is enough to adorn the jewel, without resorting to any precious stones. Religious cross, circa 1940, France.
Eagle head hallmark and partially legible goldsmith's hallmark.
