Victorian Gilt Garnet Cross pendant

Description : The process of gilding was complicated and arduous. The foundation metal of a piece of jewelry would have gold leaf applied to its surface at the melt point, which fuses the gold to the base and was then hand burnished. It was a process used often through the history of manufacturing, to upgrade the look and be affordable.This pendant cross is in excellent condition, and every sparkling garnet set into the top is perfect. Measuring 55mm long and 35mm wide, it is a significant sized pendant, and a masterpiece of matching and cutting gemstones. Truly a marvel, this pendant is gorgeous.
