A breathtaking window into ethereal old-world beauty. Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver, this magnificent vintage statement cross pendant showcases an exquisite, multi-gemstone layout. The central axis and outer points are hand-set with five rectangular and square Natural Rainbow Moonstone Cabochons, carefully chosen for their misty translucency and rolling, electric neon-blue adularescence flash. Accenting the frame is a brilliant array of ten bezel-set, multi-faceted Natural Amethyst Gemstones, flashing with a soft, bright orchid-purple hue.

With a deeply oxidized silver background that accentuates the fiery contrast of the gems, the pendant features fine silver drop accents nestled along the borders. This exceptional loose charm features a substantial, pivoting tapered top bail designed to slip effortlessly onto your favorite fine silver chain, a velvet ribbon, or a custom estate strand. Arriving in pristine vintage condition with a rich, authentic patina, it stands as a spectacular devotional heirloom or milestone gift for fine estate jewelry curators.

Care Instructions

To preserve the brilliant optical properties and detailed silverwork of this multi-stone piece, clean the silver surfaces gently using only a dry, specialized jewelry polishing cloth along the raised edges. Avoid all liquid jewelry dips, harsh tarnish creams, and ultrasonic machines. Both moonstone and amethyst are delicate natural crystals; liquid cleaners can alter their natural hues and dissolve the historic setting paste holding them secure. Always remove your pendant before bathing or swimming.
How it's Made

This piece showcases intricate late-20th-century bench assembly. Artisans hand-cast a heavy sterling silver cross frame, carefully applying deep oxidation treatments to the internal background field to create dramatic visual contrast. Five custom bezel walls are hand-crimped around the glowing moonstone cabochons, while ten individual bezel collars are meticulously hand-rolled around the faceted amethyst rounds, culminating in a beautiful, pivoting top bail link.
