The size of this cross itself is incredible and really stands out not only thanks to the wonderful chocolate brown of the tortoiseshell and intricate detail of the gold and silver, but it measures 7cm by 4.6cm and has a somewhat Gothic look and style to it.
This antique pique cross from the Victorian era is such a great example of an antique piece of jewellery that will look on any chain, including on a thick cord to give it such a unique and stylish look to it.
Pique jewellery is really like no other, and this cross is just spectacular.
