GEORGIAN EUROPEAN SILVER PASTE DROP CROSS PENDANT/BROOCH





Newly listed to Metal CorsetII is this exquisite and rare paste drop cross pendant/brooch.

This ornately designed Georgian cross features several European hand cut foil backed paste stones set in sterling silver. The drop articulates from the center highlighting a large pear shaped paste stone.

The pinback is a later Victorian addition allowing it to be worn as either a pendant or brooch.

It is in almost perfect condition which is very rare for a piece more than 200 years old. What a find!
