Lot 206: A 925 Silver Cross Pendant Set With Faceted Blue Gemstones
A 925 silver cross pendant suspended from a fine curb link chain. The pendant is constructed in a traditional Latin cross form, featuring seven oval-faceted gemstones of a deep translucent blue. Each stone is secured within a white metal setting by four prongs. The central stone and the stones forming the vertical and horizontal arms are uniform in shape. The reverse of the pendant shows a polished finish with open settings to allow light through the gemstones. The pendant is attached to a tapered bail. A stamped mark reading 925 is present on the bail and the reverse of the pendant, confirming the silver purity. The curb link chain is fitted with a standard bolt ring clasp.
Condition report:
The pendant shows signs of general wear and surface tarnish, particularly concentrated around the prong settings and the recessed areas of the bail. The blue gemstones exhibit some surface abrasions and minor facet edge wear; the central-bottom stone displays a significant surface-reaching inclusion or scratch that appears as a silver-coloured mark under direct light (photo 1). The 925 silver chain is in functional condition with no visible kinks or breaks to the links.
