Victorian 18ct Gold Onyx & Natural Split Pearl Pendant with Locket Back

30M
940 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An 18ct gold pendant set with an oval banded onyx and a saltire cross set with natural split pearls. Onyx aids the development of emotional and physical strength and stamina, especially when support is needed during times of stress, confusion or grief. Pearls are for tears. A saltire, also called Saint Andrew’s Cross or the crux decussata, is a heraldic symbol in the form of a diagonal cross, like the shape of the letter X in Roman type. The word comes from the Middle French sautoir, possibly owing to the shape of the triangular areas in the design. This was a mourning pendant. It has the photograph of a gentleman in the locket on the reverse.
