Antique Georgian Garnet Maltese cross pendant, Brooch, 9ct gold

I am in love with this gorgeous antique, late Georgian era Maltese Cross and I'm sure you will be too! 

Everything about this piece is simply mesmerising, the rich deep red vari-cut garnets, the grand design and warm gold tones. 

The garnets are foil backed and within each triangle of the cross there is a crowned heart design featuring a pear cut garnet with a single garnet crown giving this piece stacks on stacks of symbolism and beauty. 

The pendant also has a brooch fitting so it is a versatile piece and can be worn in many ways. 

Set into 9ct gold with a closed back setting and gold ball detailing to the edges of the cross. 

A wonderful piece of Georgian jewellery, looks great hung from a nice gold long chain.
