Victorian Lapis Lazuli, Rose Diamond & Natural Pearl Cross

11T
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A dramatic cross that was made circa 1890-1900.  Lapis Lazuli is one of the precious stones mentioned numerous times in the bible.   It is included in the description of God’s Throne, and, according to some scholars, is the stone that God wrote the Ten Commandments on.  So this wonderful rich deep blue stone with gold flecks, originally sourced in Afghanistan, has been used to create this beautiful cross.  In the centre is a small gold mounted cross set with graduated rose diamonds. The ornate bale has also been set with rose diamonds. Four natural pearls represent tears, purity and innocence.  A work of art to wear with pride.
